No they're not.

To my - the four principal Creeds of The Church are the dogmatic statement of the Faith. And:

they're the inspired word of God, as filtered through fallible humans

People. And that is the 'filter' for the inspired Word of God. You question even that now?

until God finally decides to hand us a nice manual, which I doubt He'll ever do

Consider the four principal Creeds of The Church as your Table of Contents. It's not unknown for catechisms and lengthy treatises to be organized in that way.

Which is exactly what I was getting at. The Creeds can't stand on their own, they need support. A table of contents without the rest of the book might be interesting but isn't terribly useful.
