Dear Milhouse,
The Rambam in Perek Chelek that you quoted is against those that assume the words of Chazzal are what they intended to convey. You seem to advocate for that. The Zohar generally explains pesukim in line with the literal understanding. I am not familiar with the Zohar refering a passuk to a sfeirah; The meforshim take the Zohar to be understood that way.(More like a sefirah to a passuk,)
