Like most scientists, Darwin was incorrect about the finer details of a great many things. Your entire argument hinges on the misguided belief that scientists a. believe themselves infallible and b. Revere Darwin as some sort of deital figure.
Your entire argument is flawed, both ignoring that many people are born with copious amounts of hair (see the French), and that there are hairless species of many "kinds" of animals. That's not even considering the invention of clothing and shelter could be factors.
A better question similar to yours but against your stance would be "why do Whales and Dolphins have hair follicles when they don't have any hair?

Unlike most mammals, dolphins do not have hair, except for a few hairs around the tip of their rostrum (beak) which they lose shortly before or after birth. The only exception to this is the Boto river dolphin, which has persistent small hairs on the rostrum.
There are certain characteristics that all mammals have in common. Mammals all are warm-blooded animals, they breathe air, have hair, and moms feed their babies milk from mammary glands. Whales actually do all of these things!
I guess dolphins and whales do have hair. Probly because they are mammals. That's called science.
The better question to ask yourself is: if there are hair follicles present where there is no hair, at what point did the animal lose the hair and why don't we find hairy dolphin and whale fossils?
