(This isn't being rude. this is just me countering you're arguement in a list).

1: No it wasn't an avatar. Jyggalag himself confirms it was his true form after you beat him. 'Once each era, I was allowed my true form, conquering this world anew'.

2: Because since both he wasn't weakened at the time and he is Jyggalag, ALL of Sheogorath's power went to Jyggalag, he wasn't weakened at all when you fight him.

3: (I'm assuming you played Shivering Isles) Yeah you're right that the power doesn't immidiently go to the Hero but Jyggalag himself says '''This Realm is yours. Perhaps you will grow to your station','' showing that it will take time for the Hero to grow into their role as the Prince of Madness. This is confirmed when you you meet the Hero in Skyrim as Sheogorath, having become as mad and as powerful as their predecessor.
