If I want to keep my OS and apps together in one partition while separating data or games into another, would it be simpler to reinstall the OS without moving anything else? Also, does Windows 10 already have tools for doing this without transferring other data onto the same partition? If yes, please let me know the relevant tool and any helpful guides. Thanks!

I'm wondering if it's feasible to reinstall or fix the OS without moving data from that partition. If yes, then we might not need to create another one.

Separate partitions on SSD are useful for imaging. If you need to back up your system at times, it’s better to avoid large game partitions. This keeps your image smaller and makes restoring easier. Games can be reinstalled without much hassle, or you can keep the games partition intact during the restore process.
