Why does a creature with a fur coat require leather processing tools?

He doesn't, i.e. your source is a bunch of BS (bad science),  My guess would be that the only thing Neanderthals ever did with hides was singe the furr off them and then eat them.

And I think that your position is BS (bad science) (e.g. the BS claim that the Neandertal genome is close to the chimpanzee genome than to the modern human genome); scarcely better than the hypothesis that humans are hybrids of chimpanzees and pigs. Dismissing evidence that doesn't fit your hypothesis is not to the way to find the truth - if you want to be taken seriously you have to address it.

 Nothing to say about Neanderthal skulls being perfect fits for apes' profiles???
 

Only that you've been hoodwinked. The Neandertal skull has been rotated backwards and rescaled to make it fit the chimpanzee profile.
How does a Neandertal brain well over 3 times the size of a chimpanzee's fit inside the ape's profile?
There's plenty of skeletal evidence that the genus Homo as a whole (never mind other hominins) are bipedal. Part of this evidence is the position of the foramen magnum, which is in the same position in Neandertals as in modern humans, and different from the position in quadripedal apes. Neandertals have brow ridges; modern humans don't. That's an awfully thin foundation to support your weight of speculation.
Neandertal skulls look like modern human skulls, not chimpanzee skulls.

Nothing to say about the Denisova Cave needle?
