Not only is this not mythology, this isn't even true across every irl religion. No avatar of a god on Mundas has ever had all of it's power. Mehrunes Dagon didn't have all of his power, and neither did Akatosh. Pelinal didn't have all the power of Aka or Shezarr.

you kinda need to be strong as your deity father to be stronger then a deity he faught evenly against. not to mention if the Aedra were that much stronger then the Daedra then before Nirn was created they would have wiped them out, dont you think? I'm sorry, what does this even mean? The Daedra only became Daedra when Nirn was created, so why would they kill each other for no reason? The nature of the creating Nirn bound each Aedra to their plane[t]s, so no they wouldn't kill them after either. Second, the real power the Aedra wields come from their worshipers. Finally, Akatosh is not literally Alduin's father, so I'm not sure why you continue to say it.
