Have you succeeded in your stated intention of “deriving the property of Decomposition using the given definition (X || Y | Z) iff P( x | y,z ) = P( x | z ), and the basic axioms of probability theory”?
If you wish to continue discussing this problem with me, I humbly suggest that the best way forward is for you to show me your proof of that. And we might take the discussion to email if you like.
I am afraid I cannot agree with you.

It is great that you are studying Pearl.
