Sure, that's something of how I might make sense of the Biblical
aaccounts myself. But still, I wonder if that was the case, even if
you are going to say the story is fiction, why would Thomas be written

Because it is a parable of "Iqan" - Certitude. Thomas doubts, and finds certitude, and is blessed for it. He is the only one of the disciples who exhibits the quality of "independent investigation".
