A counterexample to your proof would be to draw a plane through three points, say near the top of the sphere, then distribute the remaining points on the bottom. Then you don't get a proper division by taking your plane as the dividing line, since a working version would require more than a hemisphere of volume.
Thinking in terms of x, y, and z axes is a red herring. The symmetry of the sphere makes them irrelevant.
