Just because Death can't, well, doesn't Create, doesn't mean He can't do it if He so chooses to do so, confirmed when He created the Reapers. Otherwise, going by your logic, Djinn > Death, because they're capable of reality-warping.

As for Crowley not being a match for Dick, Alastair casually messed up 2 Angels simultaneously and he's weaker than the King of Hell, by powerscaling. High-level Demons aren't pushovers, hell; even some Black-Eyed Demons, such as Meg, are powerful.
