If that's true, then why are humans the dominant species in the Dominions universe?

Because tolerant cultures with a more hippie outlook than the human race allow themselves to be swallowed and destroyed by intolerant, simpleminded and conservative humans

That won't work in your world. Vanir aren't hippies, Pangaeans might be hippies but they go berserk in the end (Carrion Woods), Jotun are anything but hippies (although Rimtursar might've been), Caelians are nerds (except Harabs, who are goths) and the "tolerance" of the water nations is arguable at best. Atlantians, the better of the bunch, only enslave humans to have someone else to tell them of their wonderful future, while the Starspawn "tolerance" only produces cheap cannon-fodder.
The only hippies in DomII are the Abysians and the Tuatha. The Tuatha retreat to another plane instead of enslaving the humans, and Abysians were clearly smoking when the first humanbreds came to be. In their defense, they got into bad company. Of course, their "friends" got themselves banished once there were some horned kids running around, and are probably still gathering spousal support. That doesn't sound like the typical female, though... Ah, now I know why there are no Incubi in Dominions! That also explains why Abysians need to collect all those pure maidens, as well! Some spousal support, there!
C'tissians are even worse, though. Not only are they herbivores enamoured with both life and death (veggie-hippie-goths!), they have severe skin problems! They already enslaved one race of intolerant and conservative carnivores, though, so I wouldn't want to miss with them.
