If you define a creature as a soul, or something with a soul, what would you call a construct? Are constructs not creatures? Pretty sure they don't have souls.
Also, where are you getting this definition of a creature? "it is something created either animate or inanimate"? I'm sorry but that's a BS definition of a creature. Something created and is animate or inanimate? Literally EVERYTHING fits that description.
I'm sorry, I've never seen anything in Pathfinder that supports your statements. To the contrary, I've only seen, as noted before, things that specifically refer to a dead body as a creature.
Just as a quick example, the spell Raise Dead targets a dead creature touched, not the soul of a dead creature.
The spell also happens to refer to the creature's soul as a completely separate thing.
