[Harry Potter] Why do wizards/witches think that Muggles don't care about magic?

In the Harry Potter novels, it's implied that wizards and witches think that one of the reasons Muggles can't perform magic is because they lack the imagination to. It's implied that they think Muggles are all like the Dursleys: stupid, intolerant, square, old fashioned, and simply can't comprehend magic. Now for the average wizard/witch you can just chalk that up to plain ignorance and bigotry, but what about the ones who DO know about Muggles? Surely the people who regularly come into contact with us must have noticed by now that Muggles have an intense and vibrantly rich culture devoted to science fiction, fantasy, surrealism, mythology, and so forth. They must have noticed the mountains of books, comics, movies, TV shows, and games that are all about magic. They must know that stage magicians exist and are popular, that occultists like Aleister Crowley exist, and how much time and effort we devote to thinking about magic and magical things through philosophy and the arts, so how can they justify this nonsensical belief that we have no desire to understand the supernatural?

They probably don't fear so much if muggles will accept them into society or accept magic. They fear being forced to be experimented on and used by their countries military or both. That's if everyone doesn't freak out immediately and a war breaks out. 

Think of how useful a SEAL trained wizard could be, attaching their wands to a handgun or something.
