It's worth noting that the three faceless RI operators we've seen, Ace, Scout, and the vanguard operator, were all distinctly lacking in any non-human traits. As well, Mephisto, while his race is still unknown, stands out from his peers as lacking any identifiable racial traits.
"*When asked if there's pure humans on Arknights, Sea cat[Umineko] confirm there isn't. He says every character has a animal theme to make the diversity of the characters more deeply."
*4gamer ask if the player(doctor) is human. Neither Umineko or Yui answer.
It's obvious that the doctor is human to make it more relatable to the players.
Also, talking about Warfarin, there's this quote (when trust is increased to 150%) that adds more fuel to the "the doctor is human" theory.
Fine, fine, I'll come clean... I have tasted lots of blood from different species and races and types. And I do enjoy the subtle differences in flavor, okay? In fact, the only type of blood I've never tasted is... yours, Doctor. Haha!

The way this is worded honestly doesn't make me think that the world of Arknights is devoid of humans, just that all of the main characters aren't human. This statement seems to completely disregard the shortlived anonymous operators. Mephisto certainly doesn't have any visible animal theme, and the only races to not possess animal traits are aquatic based. The translation is also kind of awkward so I'm a bit skeptical of its accuracy.

That line is actually unlocked at 200%, but Lancet also has a line regarding the Doctor's blood.
I've printed out the standard blood test report I just did for you. Everything looks normal, but there's a very unique characteristic about your blood...
Ace has a thin rat tail, so he's likely a Zalak. Scout is explicitly a Sarkaz.
the vanguard operator, (...) Mephisto
These two are unknown, yes, but I'm still in the 'until there's a confirmation, then they're Ancients' camp. After all, the sea people aren't visibly animals.
That really doesn't look like a tail, and he's missing any sort of animal ears or horns, which is inconsistent with literally every other land based animal operator.
Scout is explicitly a Sarkaz.
Just completely overlooked his demon tail, whoops.

But they still feature details alluding to their respective animals in their overall designs. Mephisto's race is gonna be a real surprise if it's ever revealed, cause there's nothing to guess it on from his appearance except for how white he is.

There is one hint with Mephisto- his name and connection to Faust. "Faust" is the name of the play by Goethe, and relates to two characters- the eponymous Faust and the demon Mephistopheles. The race with "Demonic" connotations in Arknights is Sarkaz. In this case though, Faust was/is Sarkaz IIRC. In which case, I would wager Mephisto is either Sarkaz, Human, or something else entirely.
There are a number of operators that can look human and hide their furry features like blue poison.
I would say there aren’t any humans but they can easily turn around and use it for a new plot
They don't "hide" their animal features, they just don't have them to begin with. It's not very common, at least among (living) operators. Blue Poison, Skadi, Cuora, and Specter are some of the very specific few that are indistinguishable from humans based on appearance.

... Is it a coincidence that all four of those have some link or another to the Abyssal Hunters, or at least appear to?

Not true. Blue Poison has frog eyes, with sideways pupils.
