Not hundreds of balrogs, only 7 survived into the 1st age. (I know, there are some... discrepancies with earlier lore, but we can only count the latest)

2. Dwarves were present and played a key role in the siege of Angbad too.

3. We cannot say "if it weren't for this Angbad would have fell," as the treachery of the Easterlings was counted on by Morgoth. Even if the Easterlings had not betrayed the free peoples, we cannot assume Morgoth would have lost. He was still very powerful without them, and likely had a few tricks up his sleeve.
