However, and someone correct me. Isn't there an idea out there that Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus might not be actual ancestors but just examples of Hominids that didn't make it? Kind of like Neanderthals being shown not be homo sapiens sapiens?

That would actually make the fossil record clearer if true. Buts it been a while since I studied physical anthropology.
The thing that supports evolution where homo habilis and homo erectus are concerned is that homo saphien remains have not been found that date back to the same period that these early himinids belong to.

Religious folks will contend that carbon dating and ALL other methods of dating these remains are flawed
