Are you talking about attaching this index entry (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPV5-7BX5) to this profile (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MGFM-TFZ)? If so, I think you're misinterpreting what Source Linker is saying. Ernst Carl Friedrich Bader's father (named Ernst Ferdinand Bader) has a birthdate of 1815. Source Linker lines up the index entries with Tree profiles based on their indexed relationships, so the Ernst born in 1844 is lined up with MGFM-TFZ, and his parents appear above him, lined up with MGFM-TFZ's parents: Ernst born in 1815, and Hannah born in 1818.
It looks like these are index-based legacy-data profiles, and you've found the exact "tryptich" to correspond with the index entry, since the names and the event date and place match verbatim between the index and the profiles. The parents have lots of duplicates, corresponding to the indexed baptisms of their other children (and possibly other events, such as marriages and deaths; I haven't looked in great detail). In my cleanup efforts of such old data, finding and attaching the originating index entries is generally my first step; it can usually be figured out even if the images aren't available, as here. (Or not with a non-LDS account like mine, anyway.)
(I am highly reluctant to take the next step, of actually merging the profiles, without being able to look at the actual documents, because indexes are incomplete and often wrong. I'd want to verify things like house-numbers, occupations, and godparents to make sure they were really the same family. Tedious as they are, merges are a lot easier than unmerges.)
