So basically what I can take from this is Element ATK is ALWAYS better than Character ATK because even without any ATK boost from the weapon grid, both values are on equal ground yes?
No, character attack is better in some circumstances. See my calculator.

It wasn't your damage formula calcuation that was wrong. It was your interpretation of it. You claimed a 40% damage loss, but didn't do the extra calculation necessary to show that (a percent difference calculation). As a result, you arrived at a misleading conclusion.
