If the beliefs of these churches is not different, then why are there so many of them?

Good question. If the beliefs of lds gods are not different, then why are there so many of them?

...the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a church, so there is a central authority for that church...

If there's a supposed "central authority" in the LDS church, then why is there no "Central Authority" within the "council of gods." Why is there no buck stops here god? Why is there no ultimate god? You cannot have "central authority" unless those folks who derive their authority know where that ultimate authority comes from? (You can't just endlessly climb the divine bureaucratic ladder; you eventually have to arrive at a destination--an original source of authority).

Sure they can, it’s the hallmark of Mormonism definition of God, a pyramid scheme. Satanic (and might even be the deceit Lucifer used to take a third of heaven with him in his fall from Grace), but a pyramid scheme.

CF, this has been so debunked as to be ridiculous for you to bring up for the how many times does this make?

If there's a supposed "central authority" in the LDS church, then why is there no "Central Authority" within the "council of gods." Why is there no buck stops here god? Why is there no ultimate god? You cannot have "central authority" unless those folks who derive their authority know where that ultimate authority comes from? (You can't just endlessly climb the divine bureaucratic ladder; you eventually have to arrive at a destination--an original source of authority).

In order from your irrelevant question:
A “why is there no Central Authority"
God the Father is your ultimate God, he has all the authority you will ever answer to and you need not concern yourself with variables that are out of your scope (a little programmer jargon here)
B “Why is there no buck stops here God?”
He is God the father.
C “You cannot have "central authority" unless those folks who derive their authority know where that ultimate authority comes from?”
God created you, that is where his authority comes from.
D “You can't just endlessly climb the divine bureaucratic ladder; you eventually have to arrive at a destination--an original source of authority”
Authority comes from God the father.
Does you neighbor having kids threaten your authority over your children?
Does your father have authority over your kids unless you give it to him?
Did you ever go “Over your dad’s head“ to your grandpa to try to avoid a punishment from your dad?
How did that work out for you?
All you are showing here is you do not understand what you are talking about. You have tried to jump from Algebra to Trig, and you are not ready for the answers, that is why you will not accept them.
