Enough time these 'races' would have diverged into difference species had we not developed better means of travel in the last 2000 years.
While people misuse the term frequently that does not mean that there are not some basic characteristics that make a race a race.
Going your route, taken to an extreme would put pretty much every creature on earth as the same species, as there isn't much difference between us and say a Chimpanzee, or the other apes, then the monkeys etc. This is wonderful and new age, but I'll still be eating beef without worried about the cow being related to me via a few million generations.
Race may become meaningless in the future with enough interbreeding, but its not that point yet.
