Almost none of these references have to do with Christianity. Most ideas about the devil are based in legend, pop culture, and medieval Catholic superstition.
I would say no. If, hypothetically, I was a Buddhist, and I believed that Siddhartha met a man endearingly known as "Billy Bob" and they had lots of fun adventures, that doesn't change anything about Buddhism, even if I convince my entire city that it happened. There's a difference between stories and things that have been true for a religion since its origin.
A colleague of mine who grew up across the river from Detroit (Windsor, Ontario) remembers sitting on the river watching Detroit burn every October 30.

1. The serpent was given a punishment that is almost like forced humility, in reprehension of pride.
2. Lucifer has a motive to want to tempt Eve and Adam.
3. Who else would it be? Snakes do not commonly talk, nor do they have a motive to tempt Adam and Eve.
4. If it is the Devil who takes the form of a snake, it fits the narrative perfectly and makes sense from the standpoints and themes.
5. Revelation refers to the Devil as "that Ancient serpent".
I would say that's enough to call it "case closed".
