I think you're looking far too much into this.

Sometimes a good story is just that, a good story. It would surprise me if the Horus Heresy wasn't based on the war in heaven from Abrahamic religions but I'd say it just makes a good basis on which the creators of WH40K have built on to provide a brilliantly deep and diverse universe for fans to indulge in.

The problem with over analysing things is that eventually you will take the fun out of it. So I say leave well enough alone and enjoy a darn good story.
