Some random thoughts on this.

1) You probably underrate KD, I think he probably ends up as a top ten guy of all time?  I dunno, and not the point of the post, so feel free to disregard.
2) On the cousins point; absolutely, if you swapped DMC for Dray the odds would go down of the Warriors winning.  (imo, of course)  They'd still be the overwhelming favorite.    And I think that goes for every other guy you mentioned as well.
3) KD is amazing, no question, like I said I think you underrated him.  Without him, you're talking about a team that won 140 games in 2 years and was probably a dumb decision (by dray) from winning 2 titles in a row.
4) Dray does have skills showcased by how other teams have to play him, but the one thing that makes the Warriors the Warriors more than anything else is the death lineup, and Dray is probably the key to the death lineup. (probably?)

So I don't know if he's one of the ten best players.  But you're talking about a guy who is either the best or second best defensive player in the league, probably the most versatile defensive player in the league, is a really good passer, and a decent to pretty good scorer.  Maybe he wouldn';t be considered top ten on a different team, but if he were on a different team I'd probably be banging the drum on how underrated he is.
