The cloning methods you have listed use different materials to create clones: water, wood, sand and so on. What material does Kage Bunshin no Jutsu have? Shadow? xD

Nowhere does it say that all results of Release Yin-Yang should be alive. Or the cancellation, too... something alive? Except you are forgetting, clone technique, haze clone etc. That don't have an attribute. Also, the shadow clone can also have an added element to it. Such as when Kakashi used a Lightning shadow clone.

You mentioned in your DP that "Yin brings form and Yang breaths life". So, shadow clones not being technically alive, means they are not the product of yin-yang release.
