No, Bard is way off. Many of those groups had singles already in 1963, like the DC5, Searchers, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, Swinging Blue Jeans and Freddie & the Dreamers.

The first single under their EMI contract was indeed "Love Me Do" as

.

Correct except that I have a June release date (taken from UK Decca
record catalog)

* *The Dave Clark Five:*The Dave Clark Five released their first
single, "Glad All Over," in the United Kingdom in May 1964.

Well, that's plain wrong. "Please Please Me" went nowhere near the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. It charted a year later but peaked at #3, not #1.

* *The Rolling Stones:*The Rolling Stones released their first single,
"Come On," in the United Kingdom in July 1963. The single reached
number 21 on the British charts. The Rolling Stones' first American
single, "I Wanna Be Your Man," was released in January 1964 and
reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

I thought their first US charted single was "Not Fade Away," and that only peaked at something like #48.

* *The Dave Clark Five:*The Dave Clark Five released their first
single, "Glad All Over," in the United Kingdom in May 1964. The
single reached number one on the British charts and number two on
the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Where are they getting these chart peaks? "Glad All Over" reached #6, not #2.

* *Herman's Hermits:*Herman's Hermits released their first single,
"I'm into Something Good," in the United Kingdom in August 1964. The
single reached number one on the British charts and number one on
the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"I'm Into Something Good" peaked at #13.
