In a one on one fight God would lose, yes, but that's not the point.

God is more powerful than Amara overall because he can create people that make up the difference between them and more.

Both Lilith and Alastair were fairly okay with fighting angels, while Azazel generally tried to avoid confrontation with them. Granted, he was unable to be affected by a normal angel's smite, but he did his best to avoid fighting them, this says something about his level of power.

When the angels lost their wings it seems to have majorly depowered them.

Tamiel was literally draining the power of souls to maintain his strength, this implies he was at full, Pre-Fall strength at the very least while Post-Fall Castiel wasn't.

Crowley hasn't really demonstrated any power superior to his status as a Crossroad demon/King of the Crossroads, he is just smarter than the average demon which is incredibly helpful, plus, being King of Hell seems to grant you certain privileges, not really a power boost.

Monsters are in most cases superior to Ghosts because their powers are not dependent on their own willpower, Ghosts literally have to race against the clock when fighting someone otherwise, they will return to the Veil.

That and Ghosts have several super major weaknesses, such as their bodies, that are easily exploited.

Monsters have something similar with Iron, but the majority of them aren't instantly dealt with this way.

Exactly, he only managed to win because he knew that Pestilence's ring was the source of his powers and like the other younger horsemen Pestilence was too arrogant to think they could beat him.
