First off Godstiel threaten to initially to shut down or destroy Hell that is a spirit world. That is something a bit beyond an Archangel's power. As if Michael could do it, why the apocalypse? He could have just went through Hell and killed Lucifer in the cage. And still would have followed God's command if only by the letter. Also, Godstiel had the entire host of Leviathans with on top of that 30 million plus souls. They still were decaying and rotting his vessel away. And he couldn't just fix himself. The reason Godstiel didn't want Michael and especially both of them, out was they were still were powerful to be problematic. So it swings both ways. There is not a lot of hard evidence except this.

A. Archangels are just another type of Angel, infused with far greater grace giving them powers far superior to the rest of the Heavenly Host.

B. Levis were just to made before Angels and can kill them. So unless Death was being 100% literal as only Angels and not including Archangels as a collective. Since he used the neutral way to describe the human race aka man. It's stands to logical reason he meant all of Angel Kind when he said. "Long before God created (Angel) and (Man) he made the first beasts."

C. If you use the Darkness quote? No one can say for sure if the Archangels were the first creatures made. As Death just seems to describe the bases of the entities in the war.

Now I could wrong in all of this. But even your thoughts are not absolute. To interpret facts or suggestive information to support conclusion is speculation.
