Actually, it's only young-earth creationists to whom this would apply.
Not all creationists are young-earth creationists.  Furthermore, there
are some Bible-believers who believe that Adam and Eve were the first
humans, but not the first hominids.  I'm not a believer myself, but I
suppose for believers there are legitimate questions as to whether the
paleolithic diet was meant (by God) to be followed by post-paleo
people.  If one believes in God, then one can entertain the hypothesis
that God *altered* humanity for some other diet.  Of course, that
hypothesis *is* at odds with the basic paleodiet hypothesis, which is
that the best diet for contemporary humans is the diet to which our
paleolithic ancestors adapted for a very long time.  If God might have
changed all that, then that hypothesis goes right out the window.
