1 - This is not relevant in many climates.
2 - Overheating - not an issue, that's what our sweat is for. Sunburn - solved by applying sun cream. Freezing - yes, obviously, you need to wear clothes when it's cold. It's a sad necessity, an act of desperation of sorts because of our living in hostile climates.
3 - Completely false. Actually, walking and running without shoes on hard surfaces makes you LESS prone to injury, strengthens the feet and ankle muscles, teaches proper running technique.
4 - Duh, get a backpack. Or better yet, get rid of the "important things" you "have to" carry.
5 - See 3, there won't be no falls or accidents if your muscles and nervous system are fit. By wearing clothes and shoes you are voluntarily turning yourself into a disabled person of sorts. Except for some dangerous occupations or adventures like crawling through jungle, no protection is needed from clothing (and with the jungle adventures you only need this clothing around the body parts sensitive to scratching, as evidenced by native tribes).
6 - Clothes for the most part do not keep us cleaner. If anything, they retain sweat and skin oils and make a better climate for microbes to thrive in. Ever considered why barefoot walkers don't get toe fungus unlike shoe wearers? Or why so many people suffer from acne and other skin irritations? As for being wounded, you need sterile bandages rather than dirty clothes over the wounds. One case in point is menstruating women, though, who need their padding in one form or another (even though the amount of menstruation also seems related to diet, so if you are bleeding buckets, maybe you have a different problem than need for clothing).
Generally, as with veganism, nudism is a kind of rabbit hole. When you dive into it, you suddenly gain new insights into how strange the "normal" human world has become, in some subtle ways that you don't ever ponder while being part of it. You discover new, more satisfying, calmer ways of life, free from certain obligations that you took for granted before.
