I'm torn on your argument.
On the one hand I can understand the necessity to filter similar-looking things into the same group. It's impossible to try everything...
On the other hand, I want to say that comparing two things in which you don't have much of a background is kind of wrong. Just on themes alone, what you're getting into is "All Fantasy is Lord of the Rings" territory, which is only true so far as that stereotyping filtering works out.
Regardless, it's the minute details that would matter if Sega were to take action. I don't think Freedom Planet resembles any of Sonic's games or media forms enough for it to cause trouble.
Mega Man might have an argument, though:
