I think there is nothing essentially incorrect about the redefinition.
The idea that we have some of the qualities, abilities and/or properties that were (and are) attributed to what is understood as and meant by the word god is fine, imo.
Equally though, we could do it for other words.
I daresay that without too much of a stretch we could say that humans are elves. And if I am a mischief-creating elf then I am an elf-god, I suppose.
This approach is more versatile than I first thought.
I would have to evaluate properties of elves.
At any cost, this is why synonyms exist....
For example, fairy has origins about mythical creatures However, fairy may now describe human males
