Just how stupid were the ancient Israelites?

True enough in the Late Bronze Age.  Certainly not true by the Iron Age.

The Egyptians abandoned their principal administrative center in Canaan at Beit Shean in the mid 12th century BC.  They never regained their previous position.

The Hittites were the ones with the iron chariots that Yahweh couldn't defeat.  In the story the Yahweh god character is actualy the Egyptian Pharaoh.

Chariots were designed for speed.  They were not tanks.
