So what makes these better evidence than that of nearly every Hebrew Bible book that Abraham and Moses existed?

Multiple attestation.

There is multiple attestation of Abraham and Moses. Moses is named in 19 books of the Hebrew Bible and Abraham in 16. And then of course there are many "intertestamental" books, the New Testament, Josephus etc and many authors since then.

But I intend to leave this subject there. I hope we all enjoy our holiday weekend.
