Well, in a world where we can have semi-divine superhorses, why should we talk about 'mere' Dwarves? We know very little about Dwarven physiology, but what we do know says that they are amazingly tough, strong, immune to disease, and have amazing stamina.

Why therefore must we assume that Dwarves' physical chemistry is like ours?

You ask for evidence- the evidence is that Gimli did it.
