I've skimmed the thread, but haven't read it thoroughly, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned, but according to Neodarwinism not all traits are beneficial adaptations.
That isn't to say that relative hairlessness isn't an adaptation, just that it doesn't have to be. Some traits are the result of genetic drift.
