You may have heard this argument before but here goes,It was only believed by the wise amongst the Hight Elves that orcs were corrupted elves but it was never known for sure as none of the elves had ever been to his first great fortress to see.
Another very minor point is that Melkor would not have first bred the Orcs during the First Age, he would have done this before the first age, during the years of the trees. The first age was only said to have started once the Noldor had returned to Middle Earth.
But otherwise it is i think a very good idea
