The profession of scribe was the way of preserving ancient manuscripts because they wore out. There may not be surviving manuscripts from the time of Moses or Joshua that date back many thousands of years. Because they wear out and have to be replaced by the scribes. All hand written. The technique of the scribe was to copy exactly the previous manuscript as a replacement. The known surviving manuscripts may date as you said and have been translated into Greek. But it does not mean there was not an ancient written Hebrew Torah.

You seem to have overlooked the Dead Sea Scrolls, for much of them predate the time of Christ.
