You are thinking about it too much. Just play and have fun.

Well you can say that some time in your amnesiac background you made a pact somewhere down the line.

I just pretend that in my case the pact I have is with Bhaal and he is granting me his powers . Doesn’t matter if it say Great old one or fiend or anything , I got my powers from Bhaal and that’s it

I remember having similar quandries about how the Bhaalspawn could be a Cleric in BG 1/BG 2. Particularly when you learn in BG2 that Ao forbade the gods from intervening with the Bhaalspawn. Granting a Bhaalspawn spells definitely seems like intervening. Even in this game a Dark Urge Cleric of Lathander would seem off.

It also doesn't make sense that there are Bhaalspawn in BG3, since apparently they inherit it from Sarevok. However when Sarevok was resurrected he lost his divine essence (which passed to Bhaal) and was just a normal human, i.e. not a Bhaalspawn anymore. Even the WotC lore indicates that Viekang and Abdel Adrian were the only Bhaalspawn left and their death was the subject of the Murder in Baldur's Gate module.

Ultimately, the reason is gameplay trumps continuity/lore. No one wants their character restricted even if those restrictions make sense for the plot.

you can still choose to make a pact with the turd you released this morning.

the Great Old One pact is not with an elder brain, or a mind flayer, they're far, far, far more eldritch than that. it's stuff with names like Chtulhu, the Chained God, or That Which Lurks
