Strength in numbers is never a valid concept in Minecraft. The amount of orcs it would require to take on a small force of elves would lag the game badly or crash it.

I have suggested, multiple times, ways to make Black Uruks extremely rare, and to fill their void with a human-strength, weak Uruk unit. You are absolutely correct in that they are too common.

As for Uruks versus Rohirrim, they were almost definitely stronger than Rohirric infantry. It was Rohirric cavalry that scattered them due to speed. In other cases of Rohirrim overcoming Uruks, their either had the element of surprise or other major tactical advantages. A single Uruk versus a single horseman, in my experience, often ends with the horseman winning; they are just too damn fast.

Lore purism is great and all, but it's extremely unrealistic for the game. Balance exists for a reason. If Uruks wre made scarcely better than Orcs, there would be zero equivalent to dwarves, elves, or even some stronger men. Not everything needs an equivalent, but that's half the enemy. That's quite a bit overboard, and not at all worth it.
