In the 04-05 season, Maggette was a very good player. He just didn't have the ball in his hands as much as Wade.

didn't get the ball nearly as much and didn't play as much minutes
That 04-05 season you speak about was nice, but Corey shot a pretty terrible percentage (43%). The season before that (another great season) he shot 45%. See what happens when he is given the chance to become a big factor offensively and get's the defensive pressure that goes along with that? He struggles.
Wade meets much more pressure than Maggette on a nightly basis and still puts up 27PPG on 49%+.
Wade is primarily a slasher type player, he'll drive regardless of the defense thrown at him
They show that he is not as strong of a ballhandler as everyone makes of him.
I'd say Kobe is a better ballhandler than Wade.

62% of his attempts were jumpers last year? 60% the year before?

He also had other very good offensive players on his team where Wade in this case plays single handedly on offense.

What makes points per game so valuable it should be one of the two most important stats to tell you anything about a player?

Points per game is an indicator, but it does not show whether one is a better scorer than another. It is more leading than a stat like FG%, 3FG%, or any of the basic defensive stats.
