I can understand why you'd dislike the fight itself, but those critiques you made are a different matter.

To the first point: Mira was the focus. Lamy and Lisanna likely only caught a bit of the shockwave from the explosion, rather than being in the beam itself.

Is Mirajane taking over a Demon by instinct that much more bullshit than Erza taking down a dozen adult (and likely experienced) mages when her powers instinctively awakened the first time, while she was one or two years younger than Mira at her power's awakening?

We were never told the extend of what Take-Over can and can't do. Natsu gets new attacks and abilities for his Dragon Slayer Magic all the time, Lucy gets new keys and abilities, Gray, Juvia pretty much everyone gets new abilities in their respective magic (Erza is the boring one here, since instead of learning new stuff, she just buys new weapons and armour)... so why is it suddenly bullshit if Mirajane also gets a new ability or two? ...well, new as in not yet shown in the story, since Mirajane might have had those abilities for years. After all neither ability would have been much use in the few fights she had in the series so far.

While it was said that Take-Over Satan Soul allows her to change into a Demon, never NOT ONCE was it said that this was the only thing that it could do.

Also I'd like to remind you of Elfman and what was said about his flavour of Take-Over. About Beast Soul it was also said that he took over defeated beasts and yet he was still able to take-over "The Beast" and Rustyrose's "Black Sword" arm without defeating either of them first... so much for what was said about those powers.
