I moved the discussion here because I was embarrassed by the wall of texts I've been putting in the comments section. I don't wish to annoy anyone by my talkativeness. haha. I'll be telling you my honest opinions.

My first opinion about your theory before I break it down: Quite fetched but it isn't entirely impossible.

Now, I'll be breaking down your points.

Now, my counters for your points.
 * Hide and Take looks almost alike
 * The letter that Hide wrote could possibly be for Take.
 * Take has grown some hatred towards the ghoul who ate his brother who turned out to be his his best friend. And because of that, he's giving Kaneki the cold shoulder. (Note by me: this is a point that needs evidence.)


 * If we're talking about real people then it would make a point. But what we're talking about are drawings. An artist's art style affects the appearance of the people he/she draws, and usually, the people he/she draws will look the same because of the said art style. By my analysis, the same thing applies with Ishida. A notable example is Kuki, who looks like Kuroneki. A lot of other characters look similar too. People also pointed out in Chapter 2 how Serpent's nose is like Amon's. As my father is an artist too, I say that making theories out of subtle similarities in appearance are usually weak. If an artist wants to hint that these two characters are related, then why not make the similarity much bigger? Much more obvious? Why aren't a lot of people pointing out that Take and Hide look alike? I believe that whatever subtle similarities you've seen in them are unintentionally done by Ishida. Simply, it's art style, that's why they're subtle.


 * This is where the 'not entirely impossible' comes in. There are no things in the canon material that could counter this point, at the same time, nothing supports it. Since we have no information we could use to narrow down what could possibly be written in Hide's testament, this leaves a lot of room for speculation.

That's about it. 
 * I don't see Take giving Kaneki the cold shoulder. When? All I've seen of Take is him being serious about work and his professionalism. He hasn't interacted much with Kaneki. I haven't seen Kaneki try to talk to him and he ignores him. The only thing we've seen of Take after the events of the Owl Battle that involves Kaneki is him stopping the argument between the Mado Squad and Shimoguchi Squad, and taking down Haise. If it was the Haise take down that you are talking about and how Sasaki was treated indifferently with the other ghouls, it is because that's what the rules say so. The rules mentioned that Haise is to be treated as a ghoul and exterminated in Chapter 7 of :Re if ever he goes beyond control.
