I think that the dragons were not created by Akatosh. Now here me out why. Men depict Akatosh as a dragon because he is very powerful, like a dragon. Now dragons, being very vaincreatures, use this to claim they have a right to divine rule to dominate, and Alduin uses this depiction to claim he is the firstborn of Akatosh. This should not be taken literally as of now. These could be false claims to intimidate and impress his fellow bretheren so they follow him. They could just be like any other beast folk.
