According to your logic as applied to Thanos, it wasn't Darkseid at all. That was just a Darkseid avatar.
he has lost before physically to Superman before as well.
First of all, no he hadn't. Action 586 was retconned back in v2 into being Desaad. At that point, Darkseid had never lost to Superman.
Second of all, even if it hadn't been retconned into being Desaad, it STILL wouldn't count because by your logic it was just a Darkseid avatar.
That in itself throws out that weak theory that he cant be beaten physically. Ds himself in death of the new gods stated that Superman is a rival also trouncing that weak theory of Ds's.
And Thanos has said he didn't want to mess with the Hulk, and he's been cut by Wolverine's claws.
It happens.
