In my opinion 'talking in a loud voice' may also mean arguments made in an elaborate way. Can we say 'talking in a high voice' instead..? Will it mean the same..?

No, a high voice just means the pitch of the voice is higher. It has nothing to do with volume.

To talk in a loud voice means to show anger by increasing the volume of your voice.
