As someone who loves to bike and hates to walk why would you prioritize one over the other? You're entire prescriptive approach is a big problem in making any i

  It's the principle for building environment. At some point everyone is Pedestrian, so env should be built to make walking as safe and nice as possible, including getting most of the things you may need with a short walk and safety. Next is bike for things that are a little more far away or for last mile trips. Next is public transport for long distance, next is cars for ppl that really need them or a willing to pay more. It's a priority piramide for creating good human centtic city design

  The prescription is more about an ultimate target that is aligned with making mobility as efficient and low footprint as possible. For each mode we need to think: does it work if 10 bln people do this for centuries into the future? Even a mechanical bike has a non-trivial impact (its manufacture needs recyclable raw materials and energy, it needs paved paths etc). What you are suggesting is the least possible action in the current circumstances - which is fine very short term but not a full plan how to incentivise people. On the juicy question of bike vs walk I would say it depends on the weather :-)
