To me a monotheistic relilgion would not need help meet added to their creator deity. I will also point out that Allah demanded that all of creation and the angels worship Adam and Eve, and Iblis refused. If Allah is so adamant about there only being a single god, why did he command worship of adam and eve?
1. In Islam, there's only one God (Allah).
2. The angels only carry out the duties as commanded by God but they are not equal to nor superior than God.
3. The angels were not demanded to "worship" Adam and Eve. They were told to prostrate to them only to show respect to Allah's creation.

As for him whom He sendeth astray, for them thou wilt find no protecting friends beside Him, and We (WE?! Allah is speaking of himself in the plural again. He does that sometimes. Maybe there is more than one Allah?) shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their habitation will be hell; whenever it abateth, We increase the flame for them. That is their reward because they disbelieved Our revelations. (our revelations? How many allahs are there? Also Allah is such a prick saying he will turn up the torture for those he wants to torture more than just regular torturing. Allah the barbarian)
Allah leads astray only those who do not intend or want to be guided (because they don't believe in Him in the first place). Not a contradiction.

Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
[no he cant]
6:100-101
Yet they ... impute falsely, without knowledge, sons and daughters unto Him. ... The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child?
The last verse is pointing out the absurdity of the idea that Allah has a child, because He is not like human beings. It's not talking about His abilities.

Some verses say that we were made from clay (earth), from dust, and from water.
But all of those are true because we know that both water and the minerals in the soil are important ingredients for life on earth.
See this: Is Man Created from Clay?

There is nothing wrong with saying "we" if Allah is referring to Himself and the angels in a collective manner. I don't think it undermines Him as a single Creator.
