Why should we think that there is some intersection between the knowledge of God and man?

Usually the answer is given that since God knows everything, then we can only know something because God knows it. If there is no intersection between the knowledge of the Creator and the creature, then we know nothing. But we as creatures know at least something. So there is some intersection between the knowledge of God and the knowledge we have as humans.

However, the above argument assumes that there is an intersection between the knowledge of God and man. Notice that the above reducto uses the term knowledge as the same for both the Creator and the creature. Thus, the above argument is not a good argument for the intersection between the knowledge of God and of man.
