Unfortunately, the reason that we have the kind of hair that we do (it covers just about every inch of us) has to do with the way a gene codes for keratin proteins in our species. Same reason we don't have talons or claws (though in rare cases, we suffer from a disorder called Pachyonychia Congenita-which pretty much does grow claws). We're covered in hair, you just don't notice it because of it's structure.
We are less hairy than other apes (but surprisingly more hairy here and there). The closest to us -in the hair dept as in so much else- being chimps. Our LCA apparently set this particular pattern in motion and unless they're theorizing a pre lca water ape (and where do we see this express itself in chimps, if so?) then meh.
