Why should a Muslim say such conjectural things?

Because a Muslim can find remains of these people, date them, and wonder how to explain them. It's not the nature of humans to have something in their possession which they do not understand and continue to ignore it without any speculation whatsoever.

If we were talking about theoretical species, you might have a point. But these were real. Some speculation is required. And the safest is to merely point out the obvious possibilities (in cases where the number of possibilities are limited) and acknowledge we can have no certainty on the matter.
