Biases like:
"1.8-Ma Homo remains come from Algeria, Iran, Kenya, Georgia, Java...
always
near lakes or seas (R.Dennell 2003 JHE 45:421);..."

This erroneous piece of information you believe from Dennell (or did
you mis-quote Dennell-I see no quotation marks here, maybe you ought
recheck to see if he actually said that), but cut-marked bones and
tools that litter the savanna, you call "bias", I call it evidence.
Overwhelming evidence at that. There is no evidence of a predominant
littoral-lifestyle anywhere in the history of Homo, not now, not ever.

......and a better sense of sight. The excellent sense of smell in cats
is used primarily to find or identify each other, eg, mark territories
etc. They hunt primarily with sight, just as Homo does.



run on 4 legs,


For about 400 yds, then they have to rest and at that point Homo runs
(slowly) up and takes away their kill. So much for running fast on 4
legs (that's why they are an endangered species and we are not).

Must I go on?


I think you'd better :-)

Naked-fat-slow Homo can, and does, easily take away a cheetah kill
(after the cheetah BURNS himself out after ca. 400 yds). No need to
smell anything, the cloud of dust can easily be seen (even up-wind)
that marks the exact kill spot.
