I don’t believe that article supports your claim. It doesn’t claim humans innately prefer meat smell/taste, just that we evolved to seek out smell and flavor complexity, which cooking— meat or otherwise - provides. You could just as easily make the same argument about cooked vegetables vs raw vegetables and claim humans have an innate desire for vegetables.
