It's quite a stretch to take these images of cherubim and use them to nullify the Second Commandment IMO.
No, that cherubs are part of the creation does not matter, the Commandment speaks of anything in heaven etc,

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above

Pilgrims 'a' nails it;


a. There is no mention, no not even the slightest hint that any man or group of men decided to fabricate anything that was made within the Tabernacle. They were all made upon the direct command of God. The 2nd Commandment forbids MEN to make any graven images or any likeness of God.
