And what if everybody before that was truly an animal, with no cognitive ability to understand anything about god and transcendence ? Why should they matter ?

There is no difference between the "first modern human" and its parents. Treating one like people and the other like animals is a vast problem.
Except the other here is really an animal. If God treats an animal... like an animal, there really won't be a problem.

My narrative doesn't say all creatures beside human beings can't know god. It's actually the other way around.
