This kind of literary challenge was common at his time. Why is this valid evidence ? Because the challenge is appropriate to the cultural context in which Muhammad found himself in, and since his contemporaries objectively failed to address the challenge, and prefered to prosecute him and his followers rather than respond intellectually, this makes his claim more credible.
I'm not sure how you see this as evidence for Islam being true?
Just because the Qur'an was [supposedly] the most eloquently written Arabic book doesn't mean Islam is more likely to be true than other religions. It certainly doesn't mean Islam is more likely to be true than atheism.
