The 8th century BCE inscription about Yahweh and His Asherah certainly don't predate the time it is believed the Torah was composed. The Hebrew Bible doesn't hide the fact that the Israelites repeatedly lapsed into idolatry, but that is not evidence that originally Yahweh came from a pagan pantheon.
Furthermore, the same name of God, like El (Semitic generic word for God or Deity) is common among both monotheist Israelites and various pagan Semitic religions. Similar to how both Abrahamic religions refer to their God as "God" in English, while European pagans would also refer to their idols as "God", because God is a generic word and not a personal name.
