If you think infants and children should partake of communion because they partook of the Passover meal, you just made the Garden of Eden, Sinai, the Tabernacle, and the Temples, entirely redundant. Children never ate at God’s table. Only their guardians did.
No, it vindicates the credo position. Only the adults took the vow, the covenant oath, and were thus held accountable. Abraham was about circumcision of flesh. Moses was about circumcision of heart. These were related but never conflated.

I don't know how you could arrive at the position that Abraham was merely circumcision of flesh, when Paul makes so clear that his legacy was spiritual (Rom 4, Galatians 3) and that true circumcision is a matter of the heart (Rom 2).
