The "I died" in the past tense was OBVIOUSLY A METAPHOR, right from the teaser two eps ago.
The Daleks have always engaged in a bit of banter before going on the rampage, surely.
The Cybermen (we discover) are vulnerable to portable artillery; imagine the carnage when they get on the wrong side of a tank battalion (and under the circumstances you can well imagine the regular humans going nuclear against them). It seems at least plausible that they would lose (...and there were only five million of them; tinpot communist dictatorships manage million-strong armies, imagine what the developed world as a whole could field when it was really up against the wall). But yes, the Daleks were on an entirely higher level of capacity and menace.
