You do realize that articles can also be about past institutions, Aretain? There is no reason, or need, for us to consider why the Forsaken would attack by sea when we are discussing the historical Alteraci navy. Also please present evidence that Lordaeron retained sole possession of the lake. If you don't, I will accept your concession on this point.

As for defending it from on-high: Quite right. Except, we have no reason to believe that the lowlands are so non-existent as to render the lake that close (why build a castle, if that's the case, in the middle of it?) and it fails to address the need to police smugglers and pirates that would otherwise present a threat to trade with Lordaeron and Dalaran.
