Any kind of Daemon already has the odds stacked against them for being named characters that can die without really dying. That's why I never count one on one fights between a Daemon and a mortal as cannon since the Daemon isn't allowed to win.

Funny thing is, this is technically not true. Daemons, even named ones, die all the time, being killed so hard their essence is gone. See M'kar for one big example.

6 in all of Warhammer 40k Lore. Of course I'm sure in the background, without names or mentions, theres more. But is not common to give True Death to a daemon.

Yes, all the time. Ask yourself a simple question, if it's possible to do for a mook Chapter Master or Inquisitor who don't really have a lot of anti-daemon training/knowledge, then it can't be that hard to do and people who actually know what they are doing, like GK or some Eldar, must find it a lot easier. Occam's razor, really.

Doubly so seeing almost all your examples are from last century of M41, so unless daemons hate that number for some reason, there had to be on average similar number of deaths in all of 100 centuries of IoM existence. We just didn't hear about them as most of 40K fiction was placed in M41.
