That first link just says that the virus was unlikely to have originated in the Wuhan wet-market, which does not disagree with the lab outbreak hypothesis (whether or not that hypothesis is wrong).
Otherwise, what you've cited disagrees with the WHO timeline, which says pretty definitively that the first COVID-19 cases were in Wuhan (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/interactive-timeline https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...). Whatever disagreements one might have with the WHO, this timeline seems pretty well documented and supported by cross-referenced citations.

The lead researcher of the WHO team says himself it's unlikely to have originated in Wuhan, and indicated that it has probably originated from elsewhere, possibly in other countries.
