I don't think they're at all unsubstantiated, and I think his work on genetics and evolution is great. However, for a biologist, he makes a woeful philosopher. Here's a excellent critique (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2007/jan/11/a-mission-to-convert/) of The God Delusion that every pro-Dawkins should read which I believe answers all of the claims you feel are unsubstantiated without me having to write you an essay.

That's true, but keep in mind the author of the article is an evolutionary biologist and geneticist. That's why I turn to him as a responder to Dawkins.
