imagine, a creationist, or YEC more specifically, would have to support evolution in order to defend something that is supposed to discount evolution as false.
Yep. Not only that, but the figures assume such hyperevolution has/is occurring right up to the present. Now, if we assume that written historical records (say from early Greek or even Roman times) would have at least noticed new species popping into existence on a daily basis - even if we're just talking "microevolution within a kind" (whatever the hell that is), then the actual rate jumps to almost 7000 per year, or 20 species a day until the hypermacroevolutionary mechanism came to a halt. Now THAT'S amazing...
