You do have a point. Kakashi's sharingan gave him unprecedented powers in terms of jutsu analysis. But I think it's a bit unfair to ascribe "half" of his analytical intelligence to the Sharingan. But if you're talking about overall battle capabilities, then I'd say the Sharingan takes a whooping 90% of the share in Kakashi's overall firepower.

But I think you're mistaken when you put Minato ahead of Tobirama. This discussion has been done for quite a long time in other threads, at least stretching back to a year ago. But I'll reassert my position again: Tobirama is more intelligent than Minato overall, not only because he created the trademark jutsus of 3 powerful ninjas (Kage Bunshin for Naruto; FTG for Minato; Edo Tensei for SM Kabuto), but he also showed far better intelligence and leadership skills during his fight with Juubito.

Just like how a good book or a good series of lectures enhances one's intelligence by teaching the students how to think from new and creative perspectives, in addition to critical thinking skills. Since the sharingan gives incredible abilities to perceive the enemy's movements and jutsus, so it can be considered a tool that can highly enhance a shinobi's battle experience.
