The question, at first, is not what is the "evidence" for the antiquity of the dagesh, but what is its purpose.
I don't, even remotely, believe that its purpose is to indicate the "doubling" of a consonant, to call attention to a "missing" consonant, to help "preserve" a vowel, or to serve as an "indicator" of a BINYAN.
