We are sticking to canon, and canon depicts that Archangels are cosmic beings in every sense of the word. Raphael blacking out the entire eastern seaboard. Michael and Lucifer roasting the planet as a side effect to their Apocalyptic battle. What the hell has Dick or the Leviathans done anywhere near at this level?

Canon strongly implies that the oldest beings have met and seen God's true image. Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, Gabriele, and Death the Horseman have met him and lived to tell about it. One is as old as God, the others are his oldest children.

I doubt Black ooze, which is what the Leviathans are, have seen God's true image.

You keep bringing up Death's statement that they would eat all of creation, he most likely meant to say things on earth and other planets. Going by their nature as monsters and abominations, I sincerely doubt God, who was around at that time eons ago, would ever allow these monstrous creatures in heaven. They don't have the ability to teleport anyway. The leviathans can't eat angels, who are energy beings the size of skyscrapers, in their true forms.

Given their very nature for what they are - grotesque, chaotic beasts with an insatiable appetite. They were one of God's beta-test proto-type failures. So he locked them up in Purgatory like a forgotten disregarded experiment. God isn't proud of them. And even gave instructions to Metatron to write down an emergency note to kill them, just in case shit happens. Which happens to be one of the Word of God tablets.
