Bipedal locomotion is a hallmark of being human. Yet the body form
from which bipedalism evolved remains unclear. Specifically, the
positional behaviour (i.e. orthograde vs. pronograde) and the length
of the lumbar spine (i.e. long and mobile vs. short and stiff) of the
last common ancestor (LCA) of the African great apes and humans

This is what "Gets" me.
Why is it missing?
The most obvious answer is: They're looking in the wrong place.
So what's the right place?
Well first and foremost is Asia. Listen to the good Doctor. Investigate

What answer *Magically* transforms the total lack of fossils into an abundance?
What answer makes your bullshit "Cite" truthful & accurate?
Have you any grasp of the topic at all? Any?
Can't

Bipedal locomotion is a hallmark of being human.
No it isn't. This is wrong. It's stupid. Bipedal locomotion goes
back at least what, 7 million years? Probably a great deal
longer than that, especially if teeth are "Evidence."
Officially Homo, humans, don't go back even half that far. So
our genus is a relative newcomer to bipedalism. Most of the
history of bipedalism has been occupied by non-humans.
This makes a difference. It's a filter. It's putting a fence around
your thinking, which was clearly flawed even before you made
the mistake of posting this.
