Firstly, the Athanasian creed you posted is extra-biblical and written by man. That means you are basically doing the same thing that you say we do.
Secondly, you use such a creed to confirm biblical orthodoxy and making it equal to "holy writ". You are using the Athanasian creed to interpret the Bible, rather than let the Bible speak for itself. This is no different to a Catholic referencing any early church writing to uphold a church tradition or doctrine.
