It's tough to justify some of the departures from history in the film that would have made not difference (such as Mozart's death occurring during daytime, instead of c. 1am), but I would agree the main plot points are merely a device to allow Shaffer to tell his story, and shouldn't be criticized for departing from accurate representation of history.
And you've got to remember that the whole thing is derived from Pushkin's *Mozart and Salieri,* wherein the historical inaccuracies were not yet known to be such.
