perhaps seeing someone "nude" infers beauty where "naked" infers shame.
in life drawing, painting and the human form in sculpture our subjects were referred to as nudes.
My definitions of nude and naked are very similar to yours. To me, nude simply means the body in its natural glory. Naked means unclothed or exposed. During a blizzard at -40'C, an ungloved hand is naked since the hand is exposed to subzero temperatures even if the rest of the body is clothed. A person who needs glasses but can't find theirs has naked eyes.
