The speaker implies that the statement is so obvious it doesn't need proof.
確かに is often used when agreeing with a fact or acknowledging a point, similar to 'certainly' or 'indeed'. 間違いなく is stronger and emphasizes that there is no mistake, like 'without fail'. きっと is more subjective and expresses personal conviction or hope, often used in promises or predictions.
