A lot of Poser/Daz Studio art has the problems that you mentiones with the poses, the "plastic" look, etc, but I've also seen some incredibly realistic and stunning renders done with those programs.

One thing that there might be a market for, and that's fantasy and sci-fi cover art, since you can't use photographs for that (how many photos of dragons have you ever seen?). 

As to what you can do to change publishers' opinions, the only thing I can think of is to assemble a portfolio of your best work and agressively promote it to publishers. Maybe hire an agent to do it for you.
