All these fish are alive today, thus I'm wondering what the significance of this find is.

Exactly! LOL! But that's what you get when these people are so desparate...

The importance of the find isn't that it's a fish that can breathe air, it's the nature of the bone structures that indicate it was a bridge between them and land animals today.

Humans didn't evolve from lungfish. But they did (likely) evolve from this thing or something similar.

There's nothing "desparate [sic]" about reporting yet another find (out of countless thousands) which yet again match the predictions of evolutionary theory and thereby confirming evolution, while violating the predictions of the anti-evolutionists and thereby falsifying the beliefs of the anti-evolutionists. It happens on a daily basis.

What is "desparate [sic]" however, is the frantic hand-waving, frightened ridicule, rash straw men, urgent dismissals, and reckless insults employed by the anti-evolutionists in a frenzied attempt to try to convince anyone that these kinds of finds aren't actually the overwhelming confirmation of evolution that they obviously are.

If you're still unclear on the concept, read this: Explaining the Scientific Method.

It's the Creationists who are desperate - desperate to come up with another spin on how to ignore another scientific discovery that doesn't fit in with their pre-conceived ideas.

I'll ask Creationists once again to explain the hundreds of different breeds of dogs. If God created every form of life exactly how it is now - then how did mankind breed different types of dogs? And if men can do it - why would you not think Nature can do the same thing?
