I think this misses the point a bit. From what I have read, the star talent in the Negro Leagues may have even surpassed that of the MLB talent of that time, and barnstorming stats show that Negro League teams may have won 2 of every 3 games played against MLB teams.
The talent pool really isn't the point at all. It's simply that the Negro League teams and the MLB teams were two separate leagues, so there isn't any compelling reason to combine their stats except for the sake of wokeness and reparations.
