Kant takes pains to say that the manifold of sensory data is given in experience as already unified; it is by reflection upon experience (transcendental reflection, specifically) that we can analyze the different aspects of experience and attribute them to their appropriate faculties.

Olavo makes a sophomoric mistake when he claims that cognitive acts must be abstractive; for Kant, the a priori concepts of the understanding are a priori functions of judgment, not a posteriori abstractions. Olavo doesn't grasp, or doesn't want to communicate, how Kant distinguishes the faculty of understanding from the faculty of reason, or the role of reflective judgment.
