You're manifestly not wrong, if that's what you want Bombadil to be, because Tolkien himself said Bombadil is purposely an enigma, like many other things in his writing.Of course, that's just what I think. I could be wrong. I haven't read The Adventures of Tom Bombadil yet (my local library sadly does not have it), maybe there are more hints about him there.
There is no place or way in which Tolkien clarified what his intent for Bombadil, Ungoliant, the Watcher in the Water, and many other things were intended to be.
Quite intentionally on his part.
