This quote is probably the one line in the Anuad that you should never take seriously.

"Sons and daughters of" should be read as associates of/associated with, especially insofar as this association was a conscious choice.

''Today the common parlance is that only the eight that followed Lorkhan and created the Mundus are truly "Aedra," but this is folly. Some were not even the strongest of the Aetherius-aligned etada at the time, but were made as such by their creation of the dawn.''

Remember, even the word "Daedra" started as a youthful rebellion.
 * -More about Aedra - Daedra

The term Aedra and Daedra merely mean that the Ada involved either did or did not take part in creation.

That wouldn't make sense. The Aedra did invovle in the creation Nirn, and that's the reason why they are relatively weak, but they have a sense of good and bad. The Daedra, to my knowledge, do not. Sheogorath doesn't know anything, save for his madness. Molag Bal, as he rapes and created vampire race, to a more extent knows some stuff, and Peryite also knows some stuff, as he made vamprisim a disease, gaining complete control over it. But that's it. Boethiah follows his spehere, Nocturnal gives luck to those who "worship" her, Dagon tries to dominate everything, and so on.
