The Ninja world IS a secretive world, so it's weird that people misunderstand. Whether Itachi knew the truth about Madara's EMS i don't know, it's possible he believed Madara to be more evil than he really was.

If you have an instant sand shield, would you believe it's your dead mom or the giant sand monster in your stomach?

Hagoromo and hamura believed their mom to be good. A god-tree morphing to an "attack form" and trying to get it's fruit back makes more sense than "mother went insane, merged with the Tree for undisclosed reasons and started fighting us in this monster form".

In-universe, many of these mistakes make sense.

As to Momoshiki and Kinshiki, it's clear that their power comes from their God Tree. As to what happened, well i do have a feeling the Boruto Manga will cover that.
