if hes his son hes obviously strong and part diety but not as strong Alduin is Akatosh's son in a similar way to Shor being the son of Shor. It doesn't work the way you think it does. Mehrunes Dagon wasn't a match for Akatosh, Dagon fought evenly with an avatar of Akatosh, who doesn't hold nearly his level of power. And Alduin doesn't need to be as strong as Akatosh to be stronger than Dagon, even if this last statement is made off of an assumption.
