And even if they did, those criteria could apply to a hundred people for all we know.
As far as I know, the only event that can be supported outside the bible is the crucifixion, and even that doesn't seem like a slam dunk. What other sources back the remaining points? I may have forgotten something, I'd be interested to be reminded.

Many books in the New Testament would be considered evidence for historical Jesus, by the way. To say it's not evidence at all is just bias speaking. Also remember, the Bible is not one book written by the same author (or same group of authors with identical views). There was no unified Bible anyway until way later on.
