"I have created different SP for find different tags and insert into different tables as per tags.": And what is the problem?

there are too mach SP for each tag, so SP call another SP and another SP call another. That the problem. Then all the table we merge into 1 table.

I don't see any problem to read N xml files and insert the desired data into a database. But of course, that's just hard work.

[Edit]
Thinking again about it, not even hard work: Import them 'raw' into a temporary table (should be easy with MSSQL). After this you can process the data with SQL.

You don't need to use SPs for this purpose. SQL Server provides default support in querying XML Documents.

Below is the query that you can use in your case

DECLARE @XML XML

Set @XML ='<ROOT><a1>456</a1><b1>457</b1><g1>458</g1></ROOT>'

Select 
      Code       = lvl1.n.value('local-name(.)','nvarchar(max)') 
      ,Name       = lvl1.n.value('text()[1]','nvarchar(max)') 
 From  @XML.nodes('ROOT/*')  lvl1(n)
