Your flywheel is most likely still attached to the car. I've never seen a pressure plate look like that. It almost looks pitted. Probably best to get more people to give their opinions.
Was your clutch behaving fine before the failure of the CSC? No signs of slipping?
You can ask your service adviser to see the pictures they sent to Nissan if you don't think Nissan is telling the truth.
Nissan is stating misuse caused the CSC to fail and is not honouring your warranty. You can flip this and question whether it was the CSC's failure that led to signs of misuse. If so your warranty claim should not be invalidated. What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Remember the dealer is your friend at this point. The dealer submits warranty claims, Nissan makes the call to approve warranty repairs. Your dealer can work for you or against you when dealing with Nissan, better to be friendly with the dealer at this point. Perhaps you could ask the dealer if a failing CSC (i.e. not fully disengaging the clutch due to a slow leak) would have caused burning.
