The point was not "They made a robot disguised as a girl, they must be planning war!" It was "What the hell kind of sneaky bullshit is this, guys? Am I right? Atlas might be up to something fishy."

And remember, Atlas is already under scrutiny for the way that they pressure and convince Huntsmen in training to join the military instead of being regular Huntsmen. Why would Atlas even need Huntsmen in the military?

It was established in WoR: Kingdoms that Huntsmen and the military are different groups. Huntsmen are meant for defending the Kingdoms from Grimm, while armies are meant for fighting people. Soldiers do not have the kind of training that Huntsmen have. Specialists are basically like State Alchemists in Full Metal Alchemist. The State Alchemists have special "abilities" at their disposal to be much more destructive, efficient killing machines. You most likely won't see Atlas soldiers using Semblances and performing specialized Dust attacks, but you'll see a Specialist doing it.

Basically, the people of the other three Kingdoms already look at Atlas and see a Kingdom that is suspiciously turning itself into a military superpower despite the four Kingdoms having signed a peace treaty 80 years ago. The fact that Atlas created a robot who appears to be just a girl makes things worse.
