Wrong idea of magic in my opinion. I like Tolkien's one more.
We don't play games to imagine some heavenly world where we don't need to be stronger IMHO. That'd be boring and depressing.
We play games for a world where we are stronger or know our goals in life better. IMHO again.
D&D's leveling system is all about becoming stronger.
Well, I very rarely play DnD, but it very much depends on the DM and the quest.
EDIT: Hey, guys with downvotes, good stories are a thing, roleplaying is a thing. If your whole session consists of combat and preparation for it, or magic and preparation for it, then it's your own particular regrettable situation.
And "rarely play DnD" means literally DnD itself, like third edition or Pathfinder. Tabletop RPGs - rather often.
How can any magic be wrong if magic does not exist?
A world in which magic can cure all ills has integrity problems. (I mean, it was funny in the W.I.T.C.H. series when Cornelia's little sister was dreaming and her dreams were affecting the world around everybody else. I don't accept critique for liking that series, be it comic books or animated.)
