Gee, too bad we know so much about proto-Semitic declension, huh?
Unfortunately too, we know about IE declension as well as that of Etruscan.
Enough that we can figure out what is likely to be sheer coincidence like
between IE and Akkadian and what is likely to indicate a remote
relationship. Your arguement, if I understand its purpose correctly, is
unpersuasive.
