Technically speaking, Mer do have somewhat of a connection to the Aedra in terms of origins, though this is quite faint. In reality, all races can trace their existence and beginnings to that of the Divines and their creation of Nirn and Mundus as a whole.

However, due to Mer's generally superior magical abilities, it is plausible to say that the Altmer have the strongest connection with the Divines, Magnus in particular, since they are known for Magicka as a whole.
