It doesn't matter to me if the Biblical 'Yeshua' character is based on a historical person or persons or not. His historical existence does not provide a shred of evidence that he performed miracles of was a god-man.
You are certainly correct that it really does not matter or make any difference for the believability of Christianity. I personally do not care if he existed or not, though I am inclined to think he probably did not. But that is very tentative only, and, again, unimportant, as you say.
