Yahweh is clearly at a level "above all gods", i.e. on his own level as omnipotent creator of all things. Angels and fallen angels (aka demons/ heavenly hosts and other "gods") are on a second level of power/influence, and then earthly creations below that.
As such, Yahweh doesn't "compete" against other (lower-case) gods, because they're not omnipotent creators and he is.
Although the Israelites were pretty famous for rejecting him and worshiping lower-case gods, (and subsequently incurring Yahweh's wrath), there's never a question that he is the I AM and not any derivation.
I'm talking about the historical and anthropological record, not the Hebrew mythology. Of course the religion's modern texts would paint themselves in an infallible light.
So yes, Judaism is descended and evolved from Canaanite religion.
Your own links don't support such a strong claim. At best the strongest claim you can make is that the name might have some correspondence with the name of Canaanite Gods, but you have zero information on the direction of the influence.
Your own links make no claim at all that the religion itself has any relationship with the Canaanite religions.
Regarding the direction, do not forget that Abraham was very active in the region, and proselytized extensively. It is hardly surprising if the Canaanites took some concepts from him.
That article has been restructured quite a bit after it was made part of the Judaism portal, compared to when I first found it and then looked into the subject a couple of years ago. Just because one wikipedia article is incomplete doesn't mean it's not an accepted fact.
Whoah. Be careful slinging around the F-bomb, bro.
When talking about causation of events where there is no data, much less reproducible data, you certainly have room to disagree with some evidence and prefer others, but it goes too far to claim "Judaism is actually derived from ancient Babylonian polytheism" is unassailable fact.
That may your belief--and you may interpret some evidence to support your belief--but as you'll be quick to point out to others, having a belief doesn't mean it's true.
The bar for something being a fact is higher than that.
I understand that you are simply repeating what you learned, but you learned inaccurate information.
It's possible your mistake is because there are some that believe that the Canaanite religions and Judaism were practiced in parallel by the same peoples, but one is not descended from other.
Also no.
