I'm saying that I was muggleborn because my parents are both muggles but what if my distant relatives were wizards, would I still be muggleborn

To be considered Pureblood, the child should have no direct Muggle ancestors (i.e. parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.). I don't think it's based only on whether the parents are magical or not.

I think only prejudiced Purebloods who actually care about bloodline and lineage and all that would think that. Most other wizards and witches who don't care about that kind of thing aren't inclined to think any bloodline is "better" than other one.

One thing I wonder about though is what a child with a Squib parent would be. Like if a Squib married a Pureblood. Would the child still be Pureblood? Or Half-blood? Or if a Squib married a Muggle. Is the child a Half-blood or a Muggle-born?

They're from magical lineage, so calling their children muggleborn if their other parent was a muggle wouldn't be correct, but if their other parent was a witch or wizard, that wouldn't make them pureblood. But, like you said, no bloodline is better than any other.
