And even taking all of that into account, it's easy to believe that by the beginning of the series Aang was the only one left.

THe Air Nomads were the smallest nation, if they can even be called that. Most of them would have been killed in the initial attacks. From those that escaped, it's safe to say that some of the children would have been alone, and probably died from exposure or starvation. The adults would have been seperated, and as we have seen in the comic, many of them were lured into traps. For the few that evaded that Fire Nation, some would have chosen to try and fight the Fire Nation, ending their lives that way. There would have been very few left, and because of the segregation of males and females in the Temples, members of the opposite sex would have had a hard time finding each other in the aftermath. Maybe a handful survived and had children, but either those children were absorbed into Earth Kingdom society, or they simply died.
