You keep 10% of the stats on the cards used in the LAST evolution.

You keep 10% of 10 % of the stats on cards used in the second to last one ( = 1%).

10% of 10% of 10% of the cards used in the third to last evolution ( = 0.1%)

As you can see, only the last evolutions you do are really interesting. Everything else quickly vanishes into nothingness. In fact, the last evolution to even give more than just a single point is the fourth to last evolution. Anything you did before that is completely wasted, as it's only 1 extra point per card, assuming everything gets rounded up to the next full point.

There is no point in doing any real work on the first 8-9 stages. Just keep sacrificing unenhanced base Tinas to 8 or 16 cards that you evolve, and then fully evolve and combine those when you reach Enlightened Mage Tina (will require 16 cards left at this point) or Enlightened Mage Tina+ (will require 8 cards left at this point).

This should get you past 9000 ATK.

Nothing will get you past 10000 ATK. Not even a 4096-8191 Tina (perfect Tina)
