Many players still haven't noticed, but Warcraft has always been shaped by fantasy. If something has been thought up in the minds of man for a good fantasy story or myth, it ends up in Warcraft through one form or another. You're just the current generation of Warcraft skeptics, which is not a bad thing, being skeptical is healthy. However, Warcraft started as ugly, evil orcs, and midieval humans. Blizz added on elves, dwarves, ogres, etc, and people had the same reaction "this is dumb! it should just be orcs and humans!", yet the game grew more popular because of that. Again, in Warcraft three Blizzard added on Night Elves, undead, gave demons a more prominent role, etc and people said "that's dumb! this shouldn't be in Warcraft!"... and again, Warcraft got more popular. Repeat the process with miscellaneous WoW mobs, Draenei, and now Pandaren.
