In a way they have a point. Good (even excellent) equipment doesn't
necessarily make good video. Many of the things in that kit are very
useful for enhancing your ability to make good pictures. Of course if
you don't know how to use them properly, they don't do you any more
good than an expensive camera :-)

I am always wary of these "kits" from dealers. You gotta ask yourself
if it makes sense to spend $7500 on a $2500 camera and a bunch of
accessories you may not even need (or know how to use properly).
And then, of course, you have to consider whether you are geting
a decent price on the bundle (as contrasted with buying the pieces
when you need them).

Their list seems a bit strange. There is a tripod (not exactly the better
variety of that brand) and even a dolly, but no pan/tilt head. Did they
just leave it out by accident? Are they going to try to "upsell" you
when you go to order the kit? How confident are you of this store?
Have you checked it out?
