No, in this case the prefix de- is emphatic and implies the action of taking off clothes (or covers) after there have been clothes on.
Nude, alone, implies the lack of clothes, but it doesn't indicate whether there were clothes before or not. So a baby is born nude. But you would denude the baby before a bath.

And "denial" means taking a river out of Egypt.
