By his own arguments Lucy would not be able to walk upright.

Not everyone is convinced Lucy is our ancestor anyway -
could be a dead-end. An extinct cousin.
Wasn't Lucy an Australopithecus afarensis?
Of course they're extinct. Been so for 2 million years now, when one of the Australopithecus species evolved into the Homo genus. But you are correct in that they now think that some Homo genus fossils have been found that are older than A. afarensis, so it may be another of the many Australopithecus species with the Homo lineage.

It is obvious you don't know what you are talking about.

By extinct cousin I meant an extinct branch rather than an ancestor.
