I know pretty well Aogami=Number 6it's the most popular theory about this Level 5, but popularity doesn't equal solidity and probability. Now replying to your points:

1 Fukiyose wasn't attacked directly by Oriana, but by a trap of her she triggered by chance. As there was no intention of targeting Fukiyose based on her importance or other reasons, differently from other characters like Himegani in vol 2, she is not so different from Aogami in terms of involvement as he was also involved by chance in vol 4 and NT 9 like the rest of the world. Fukiyose is just involved by chance one more time than Aogami. And Kamachi makes Touma come into action only when there is a damsel in distress or a large group of people in danger, but never for a male. He may have helped some male characters like Accel and Tsuchi but only through figth.

2 The be more exact, the vol 1 never says Aogami was a strong fighter. Touma references Aogami and Mikoto as "tough people who he would not have to worry about getting involved in this kind of trouble". The trouble was saving Index's life as she was heavily injured not fighting, ergo "tough" could simply mean "determined", someone who wouldn't refuse to help. But even if he was talking about fight ability, he never said they were on the same level. Aogami could just be a skilled street fight and nothing more as we don't know the term of comparison used by pre-memory loss Touma to list strong people.

3 Even the headband girl doesn't isn't named, and yet she appears in the background in a lot of volumes. If lack of name was enough of reason to make a character mysterious, wouldn't this make her even more mysterious than Aogami?

4 This is more a cons than a pro for the theory. A school dorm is under a school control, so to not live there the school should give its authorization. If being a Level 5 was the reason they allowed Aogami to live in a bakery than the school knows about him being the Number 6, but if they didn't authorized it, they would still asked why he doesn't live in the dorm and they would have found out his identity if they didn't know, which is absurd. After all the Level 5s' identity isn't's exactly a mystery for AC residents, even if not all of them know them. The Daihaseisai planning committee, which was formed by students, knows the Level 5s' identities and since teachers have access to much more information than students they must know too. Not to mention that is unlikely for a Level5 to be enrolled in what is considered a third rate highschool and since AC spends its resources to train the Level 5s they wouldn't logically let it happen as he wouldn't receive the education and support needed there. But let's say that for some reason the Number 6/Aogami was allowed to enroll there. As said above the school and ergo the teachers would know about his identity. If it was they case, why was this fact never mentioned by any teacher even when scolding him (e.g. vol 14)? And Komoe should know too and yet when talking about Level 5 in vol 3 she used Mikoto as example and not Aogami which would have been a much more reasonable choice as Touma knows him and he is her student. One could say that AC infiltrated Aogami for some reason faking info or that Aogami did it with his ability (though it's doubtful the author would use another mental ability for a Level 5), but these are only unfounded speculation for now.

5 I have yet to read the parody stories, but as they are not canon I wouldn't give them much importance. Also, if what you said is true it is probably just as joke and nothing more. Even in Railgun chapter 72 Aogami seemingly appeared as a mysterious and important character but in the end he was just the same pervert as always. Kamachi likely knows about the fandom theory of Aogami=Number 6 and simply makes jokes about it.

To add some other points:

6 The Daihaseisai planning committee was able to get through to School and Item's liaisons and people related to the Level 6 Shift project to respectively contact Kakine, Mugino, and Accel, but they didn't find any trace of the #6, making him the hardest Level 5 to track down. Now, Aogami was questioned by the authorities 43 times in the currect year (given his depravation, probably for obscene acts and public nuisance). If he was the #6, who is so good in being untreacable, why would he let himself to be found and questioned?

7 Misaki knows the # 6's identity, both she didn't say nothing about Aogami being the #6 in Railgun chap 72 and he was easily defeated. Even if he was against two Level 5s, another Level 5 wouldn't let them win so easily.

8 Number 6 showed no interest in AC's assasination request for Touma and Othinus, but Aogami is one of Touma's best friend and both vol 1 and NT 9 makes clear understand that Aogami would help Touma and trusts him (at least before Touma was thought by the world to have become a monster in the Alpha World). After #6's total lack of reaction to the e-mail, reaction other Level 5s deeply related to Touma (Mikoto, Misaki and Accel) displayed, it should be clear enough that Aogami isn't the #6.

I once believed Aogami could have been a probable Number 6 candidate and maybe it could even be possible if the author would think about an overly complex explantion, but at the moment the more Aogami appears and "information" about the #6 are given, the less Aogami sound as a possible #6.
