I couldn't make it past the first episode of Mearl's campaign (it was clear the players hadn't played together before and were struggling with finding a rhythm, lots of talking over each other, etc) so I'm not sure how he explained it exactly. I'd kinda just assumed that the story would be changed such that the primordials created the mortals and then a subset of them rise up to kill their creators and turn into deities in the process. That brings it more into line with the Titanomachy and makes a certain amount of sense to me.
But now I can totally see why you would have issues with the origins of mortals. The gods protecting their creations against the chaotic primordials is an interesting aspect to focus on and really emphasizes the theme of the Points of Light. Small groups of light fighting against the rest of the world.
