While I agree with essentially all of what you say, I believe that, for at least some of us, there is more to it. For quite a while I have felt that in my case, besides the physical comfort of being clothes-free, there is a psychological aspect that significantly changes my mental state. I’m not quite the same person when I’m nude as when I clothed. For example, I’ve noticed that I’m less introverted. I have a heightened sense of well-being. I enjoy life so much more. And being nude out doors is very sensual. The warmth of the sunshine, the cool breeze, it’s like being caressed my Mother Nature. It’s a delightful way to be.

My response would be basically this: "I'm naked because right now I prefer to be." You don't need to list all your reasons, maybe only one or two that the questioner might appreciate, and add more if they seem interested. Don't get defensive. If the questioner asks "but what about..." Just put the onus on them to list the supposed drawbacks. Then reply to any drawbacks they can think of (until they get tired of asking).
