You are hopelessly out of depth arguing eith hindus about the meaning of their scripture.
Let us examoline this sukta in detail-
http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv10016.htm
This sukta is in praise of Agni in the form if the cremation fire, as seen from the lines-
1. Burn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni: let not his body or his skin be scattered O Jātavedas, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers.
4 Thy portion is the goat: with heat consume him: let thy fierce flame, thy glowing splendour, burn him With thine auspicious forms, o Jātavedas, bear this man to the region of the pious.
9 1 send afar flesh eating Agni, bearing off stains may he depart to Yama's subjects But let this other Jātavedas carry oblation to the Gods, for he is skilful.
Now, the sukta says-
3 The Sun receive thine eye, the Wind thy spirit;
go, as thy merit is, to earth or heaven. Go, if it be thy lot, unto the waters; go, make thine home in plants with all thy members.
This makes it clear that the state attained in the afterlife is based on a person's karma, and also that after death a person may come back to the earth, or go to heaven, or live in the waters.
5 Again, O Agni, to the Fathers send him who, offered in thee, goes with our oblations.
Wearing new life let him increase his offspring: let him rejoin a body, Jātavedas.
A clear reference to the soul of a dead person being given a new body.
