If you prefer to term Eru, together with the Ainur, a pantheon that would be more appropriate. The Valar are more like the Olympians as the subset of this pantheon most relevant to Arda. Also, I don't believe it's said that Men join Eru in death. Just that they will take part in the music after Dagor Dagorath. I think you're sweeping numerous other mythological influences under the rug if you choose to view that as predominantly Abrahamic in origin.
