They don't base their opinion SOLELY on the sources I've cited...they use other supplementary sources...like the Gospels, Paul's Epistles...the origins of the Christian faith, and the testimony of the early Church...all of these things, PLUS the sources that I've cited is more than enough historical data for virtually all historians to agree that Jesus of Nazareth existed. It is not just one source, but a totality of all of those things.

As far as I know, Ehrman pretty much only uses the NT as evidence for Jesus' existence (with a proper textual analysis, of course). He sees the evidence you cited in the OP as very weak.
