By saying it was the # 1 qualification you are implying that that was the #1 reason she was selected. But that is not true.
One doesn't necessarily follow from the other. Mr. Biden and his camp obviously wanted a woman, and seemed to prefer a minority as well. Those seemed to indeed be minimum qualifications to be the choice, however, the pool of candidates meeting those requirements contained many possible options.
While it's fair to say those qualifications were seemingly required, it's not fair to say that criteria was the only reason Kamala Harris was chosen. There were others who met said criteria who were not chosen, so it would follow that in Biden's view, Harris was the most qualified of those that met the initial criteria.
