I think most of the allure of HBD comes from factors which are harder to measure than intelligence, like altruism or stronger bounds to kin and smaller bounds to state / nation / whatever. In general the point that some people are “better suited” for life in clan structure and some for life in other structures. I don’t think you adressed any of this.
[Disclaimer: I’m not a proponent of HBD, so I don’t guarantee to sum up the position correctly.]
We can’t measure them on an individual level; especially not on immigration where people can pretend to care more for laws. In contrast, people cannot really pretend to be of higher IQ. We can however get estimates for groups of people or people who do not have to fear negative consequences for “wrong” answers.
Personally I’d assume that these differences are more cultural than genetic, so I don’t think the argument for separation holds. But I can look up original HBD posts regarding this topic later.

It’s not an argument I’ve encountered before with respect to HBD; I have encountered it in alt-right articles, but never in the same context as HBD.
But insofar as there are such factors, given that we can’t measure them, the evidence isn’t exactly there.

Edit: First I found, HBD chick has a ton of these, I think. https://hbdchick.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/family-types-and-the-selection-for-nepotistic-altruism/
