Go ahead and list some real “English words” then. Try to form any kind of coherent conversation. A language is defined by the people who speak it; it grows and adapts and doesn’t fit into your neat boxes.
If you’re getting pedantic about what words came from where, we’re just speaking Proto-Indo-European (and all but ~12 root languages don’t exist). But you’re not arguing that, you’re just saying nonsense.

By my logic an English speaker will know what omelette means, they’d be confused if you ordered it with un jus d’orange, s’il vous plaît.
Something like 25-30% of English is native Anglo-Saxon and the rest is borrowed or adapted. By your logic, English doesn’t exist.
