I don't think the valar and maiar are what you would call angels.
They seem to me like the major resp. minor gods of ME and their (specifically Manwe's) servants were the eagles. Then it makes sense to say that they're like the angels of ME, because angels are the servants of God, and they act as tools of divine intervention as did the eagles.
