That's a bad interpretation. It literally says "you shall not bow down and worship them". Making an image is fine.
The "image" of [2] is not literal either. It's more in the meaning of creating something in some medium that would make people worth ship it
Note: I'm not religious but I'm still against bad representations
[4] and [5] are separate instructions. [5] also includes details of the consequences of not following these separate instructions. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bad interpretation because if everybody had perfectly good interpretations then there wouldn’t be multiple sects or schisms. I can interpret text as literal when it benefits my agendum and I can interpret text as figurative when it benefits my agendum. All interpretations are equally valid if one continues to not think too hard about it.
That last part makes it sound like a quote from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, which I’m not entirely certain it isn’t
