We dont have to guess we can easily look at the h1b rates and see they aren't replacing Americans with low wages.

The site you linked very explicitly disagrees with you. Compare those h1b salaries with average salaries at the companies/positions they're working for.

The h1b wages are very high across the different industries

Nobody has ever claimed they get paid minimum wage or something. Doesn't change the fact that they are cheaper than non-h1b workers virtually 100% of the time.
