He is arrogantly grouped in the same category as the AEDRA who contributed to Nirn's creation, and what did he do?

He was not grouped with the Aedra, he is a divine, but not an Aedra. Take heed of the fact that Shor is not an Aedra either, Talos is the mantle of Lorkhan.

Waged war until he conquered all of Tamriel, had an affair with a woman half his age, then forcefully aborted the illegitimate child

I often have to refrence this quote:

''"He spoke to her of his vision of a united Tamriel, each race separate and distinct but with shared ideals and goals, all contributing to the common weal. "Some things are universal, shared by all sentient folk of good will," he said. "So the One teaches us. We must unite against the malicious and the brutish, the miscreated."''

- The Real Barenziah, Book III

I feel like Tiber isn't necesarily a greedy man who works for his own well being (there is no refrence to such an exact thing). He is more like someone who has a plan for the well being of all, be it conquering a nation, killing his friends, or even a baby, he knew that the end justifies the means. Don't forget that Talos was to fulfill a prophecy no different from the Dovahkiin or Nerevarine

"This new Emperor will defeat the Elves and rule a united Tamriel"

- Arcturian Heresy

And Tiber Septim only ascended to "divinity" using the power of CHIM, which, and I swear I'm not BSing you, the construction kit, or the lore's equivalent.

I am aware of what CHIM is but that is not what caused him to be a god,

"The Stormcrown manted by way of the fourth: the steps of the dead. Mantling and incarnation are separate roads; do not mistake this. The latter is built from the cobbles of drawn-bone destiny. The former: walk like them until they must walk like you. This is the death children bring as the Sons of Hora."

The process Tiber went through to become a god was known as the Enantiomorph, the fourth Walking Way, in the Enantiomorph the "Rebel" swaps places with the "King":

Here is an example:

Akatosh kills Lorkhan who is him, Hjalti kills Cuhlecain to become him. Hjalti tries to become Ysmir, or Ysmir tries to become Hjalti, both living still. Under request of Hjalti, Zurin Arctus kills Ysmir who kills Zurin Arctus whose heart belongs to Hjalti who becomes Tiber Septim becomes the many-headed Talos.

Very confusing stuff. The Enantiomorph is basically mantling,

"Walk like them till they walk like you".

Though Tiber Septim completed multiple walking ways, (The Scarab becomes New Man, Numidium, and CHIM) it is the Enantiomorph that is considered to have made him a God.
