"flaunting terms like 'bioelectricity'."
Flaunting? Bioelectricity is very much a measurable thing and Levin has been studying electrical communication among cells for more than 20 years.
" A complete absence of any discussion of the genes involved"
That is sort-of his point. He isn't very interested in genome, but rather the actual growth and differentation processes. Much like you can discuss algorithms and software patterns while abstracting away the underlying hardware.
Levin is neither a quack nor a fraud. He has his own lab at Harvard and published many extraordinary results. No one else but him and his students can produce five-legged frogs, tadpoles with seeing eyes on their tails, frogs that regrow lost limbs even if they never do so in the wild etc.
You seem to have completely ignored his actual results, which are a huge green flag.
Or possibly you are dissing someone's work without actually getting acquainted with it.
