Oh great sage, I didn't know you were satanically wiser than Anton LaVey. So what's that "actual understanding of the esoteric and psychology" of yours? Because so far you demonstrated none.
The satanic religion is like Wicca constructed out of the esoteric. Despite it said that LaVey are influenced by Crowley it seems more that he is influenced by Gardner despite he also criticised Wicca for having the Christian light/dark duality. Nothing wrong with that cause new religions often comes out as critic of older. LaVey also knew the astrologist Michael Harner, so he clearly have inspiration from there when it comes to the concepts of intellectual decompression chamber.
And yeah, you're right there is nothing Satanic about the 11 rules of the earth. The question regarding TST concerned using its activism as a tool of transgression against the oppressive Christian status quo. It's not about statements but actions.
TST do not focus on the individual. LaVey was concern with himself just like the character of Satan. I'm convinced that he made these rules to either exposes the pseudo-Satanists or/and to manipulate the sheep.
