The anthropologist is not doubting that it is OF the line of descent that led to humans, just if it is IN the line of descent.

Humans are, zoologically speaking, apes. The two closest related apes are humans and chimps.

It could be just another extinct BIPEDAL ape.

Evolutionary science has a model that explains where bipedal apes came from.

Creationism has nothing.

It’s not a science. And well of course it has a model that makes such explanations. Evolutionism is based on atheistic philosophy (or a mixture of them) and it becomes its own religion. Thats why the model works so well for them.

The evolutionist is either unaware of this or tries to keep that knowledge hidden.

And?

Maybe explaining the past. That's nice.

And of what benefit is that?

FWIW, creationists have an explanation of where man came from as well, so we're even.
