In Daniell cell, anode has higher reduction potential and cathode has lower reduction potential

I told you already its wrong  in the other forum.

The potentials are measured against hydrogen electrode. So is Zinc negativ  - 0,76 V. In this table they look on one side for Oxidation and on other side for reduction.

Li=> Li+ + e- is + 3,04  V Oxidation

But in view of Reduction its opposit - 3,04  V

This you can do for every element. But the standard reduction potential are measured  against hydrogen.

So you cannot mix it.

The definition is delta E =  Kathode (more positiv potential) - Anode ( more negative potential)
