The many diffrentiating accounts that cannot all be true. You are going to have to do better than that. Allesia formed the Eight Divines when she abolished Ayelid rule. However, people did not know any other gods, and simply outing the Aeylid gods was quite a contradiction of interest. She also wanted to keep the peace with the Nords, who had their own pantheon and worshipped Shor, their version of Lorkhan. However, the elves hated Lorkhan and blamed him a the trickster, who in their religion, was the cause of their loss of immortality, and they would worship no such god. So, Allesia comprimised, and kept the reasonable Aeylid gods, such as Akatosh, Or Auri-el, and brought in the Nordic popular gods such as Dibella and Kynareth, and keeping out Lorkhan to appease her elven subjects who had been annexed into the empire.

The accounts taken from random people, even one from the Elder Council, cannot be the definitive proof for an event. They are still just mere mortals who could not have the power to split Akatosh's soul, even if Akatosh is currently weak at the time. Weak by Aedra standards means they will still disintigrate us if they ever grace Nirn with their presence. To much power to possibly control or split. Akatosh is Auri-el and Auri-el is Akatosh. He was never human or elvish to begin with. He is an Aedra, and although the Elves treat themselves like they are the descendants of some Et'ada, they are not directly related to Akatosh himself, thus there is no need to make Akatosh more human or more elvish. It's the same god, just different names. Aka-tusk is just another name, Alkosh from the khajiit is just another name, Alduin IS NOT Akatosh at all, and Auri-el is just his elvish name. There is no proof for this split.
