Then whats the whole point of having him sneak into Beacon then? They could've just stated he was the weakest student to graduate from hunter academy. Why must there be a point?

Are you forgetting that the fact they were fake transcripts already paid off?

1.  He didn't know about Aura, but he has a lot of it, if he had been trained, he would have known, we wouldn't as Pyrrha wouldn't have told him and either he would have had powerful aura, or been called out as having weak aura.... both of which are problems that would have changed things.

This same issue applies with things such as custom weapons(all Signal students are taught weapon creation and make their own as Ruby told him).

2.  "Jaundice" would not have made sense without it... The Jaune arc's could have used another form of blackmail for Cardin to apply, but that doesn't mean there was a better one or that M&K could have thought of it.

"Fake transcripts" makes him a fraud, but as his program is do or die he has already demonstrated he can do it, his moral compass otherwise appears to point north so he can still be trusted... it presents no believability issues they need to explain "right now" or  even ever again.

3. At best I could see him having an underworld "contact" he got them from in Mistral, otherwise it would only detract from the plot as centered around RWBY.
