Christianity doesn't rest on the authenticity of the Shroud.

Of course not, but maybe some skeptics might see that evidence and cause them to re-think their skepticism. The bodily resurrection of Christ as a historical fact is also supported by the 500 witnesses who saw the resurrected Christ after his death, and of course, by the fact that the Apostles were willing to be martyred in the most painful and gruesome ways. They would not have done that for a hallucination.

Christianity is a religion based on historical facts that can be investigated. This is the foundation of all Christian apologetics.
