In that I am in complete agreement with you. Sean Connery was, IMO the best at combining all the things that I associate with the "Bond" character: self-confidence, self-assuredness, the necessary physicality(regarding fighting), a wry wit, creativity and discipline, the latter a quality I think many overlook because of Bond's affinity for womanizing. Connery had a screen presence that has not, IMO, been matched by any of the other fellows that have taken on the role. Connery could drop a one liner or other pun oriented sentence without coming across as trying to be funny. If any cinema role was perfect for any one actor, I think the character of "James Bond" was perfect for Sean Connery. I also like Timothy Dalton and thought he was solid in the role. I like Pierce Brosnan a little more because he reminds me of Connery, physically and in his mannerisms. I liked the Roger Moore "Bond" films but I didn't really like Roger Moore that much in the role. I didn't like George Lazenby at all in the 1969 Bond film. His performance seemed too muted, this fellow lacking in charisma. As for Daniel Craig, he brings more physicality to the role of "007" but his performance in Casino Royale left me unsure I 'like" the character, which Connery(and Brosnan/Dalton) made me do with ease and which I think is important for anyone watching a "Bond" film.
