He suggests that the weapon in hand is part of the statistics and is calculated into CR so he should have that weapon. Of course it dispears when the spell ends, but do you think this is legit? All of the shapes that you can turn into with the RAW spells don't hold weapons.

Not the physical form plus stuff in it's hands. For that matter why wouldn't you get all of the other equipment that the standard creature has? it is part of its CR. "I'll change into a Troll, and then when I get hurt, take some of the Cure potions that it has on it (it's part of the CR, remember?)." No way.
