Or, he may have used the term "fard" for the sake of simplicity and to stress it's importance, similarly to how sometimes "haram" is used instead of "makruh tahriman" when presenting a ruling to "common people" and there is fear that they may misunderstand it's gravity and say "oh, it's just makruh".

Wajib or fard in terminology, the practical result is basically the same: it's obligatory to keep a beard which is at least a fistful long (at least according to the Hanafi Madhhab).

He has used the term fardh to make beard strictly compulsory, actually he was asked the question Beard Fardh or Sunnah? Then replied it is fardh and presented the proof from that hadith.
