I'm sorry, but it doesn't, brother.
Firstly...
This portion that you shared has one fatal flaw:
if I call myself Cohen tomorrow, and someone extracts my DNA to match up with someone in the south, anyone who matches my DNA is kin to me, but that doesn't mean those people are also Cohenim simply because I identify as Cohenim...nor does it mean I am a Cohen simply because i've identified myself as such. Without matching the ancient bones of the ancestors to modern people, the DNA results you've mentioned merely show who is related to each other in our modern time. It's circular logic.
Next...
A Cohen/priest isn't an ethnicity, it's a role. By the old covenant law, all tribes were restricted from being priests. Only the house of Aaron of the tribe of Levi was allowed to be priests since they sided with Moses at the sin of the golden calf. Moses and Aaron are Levites, not Jews. Any Jew who identified as a priest was a false priest, which is what many converted transplants were during the Hasmonean dynasty. Many Edomites and Samaritans were converted into "Jews" by John Hyrcanus I, and a "Jewish priesthood" was established apart from the true Levitical priesthood just before the time of Christ (which is why John the Baptist was living in the wilderness separate from the religious leadership as a levite and true aaronic priest). Then factions grew from the "Jewish priesthood": the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Now...
Here are two excerpts from two sources on the subject, one is a scientific study and the other is an academic article.
For a more scientific take on the Jewish origin debate, recent DNA analysis of Ashkenazic Jews – a Jewish ethnic group – revealed that their maternal line is European. It has also been found that their DNA only has 3% ancient ancestry which links them with the Eastern Mediterranean (also known as the Middle East) – namely Israel, Lebanon, parts of Syria, and western Jordan. This is the part of the world Jewish people are said to have originally come from - according to the Old Testament. But 3% is a minuscule amount, and similar to what modern Europeans as a whole share with Neanderthals. So given that the genetic ancestry link is so low, Ashkenazic Jews’ most recent ancestors must be from elsewhere.

In our previous work we have identified “ancient Ashkenaz,” a region in northeastern Turkey that harbors four primeval villages whose names resemble Ashkenaz. Here, we elaborate on the meaning of this term and argue that it acquired its modern meaning only after a critical mass of Ashkenazic Jews arrived in Germany. We show that all bio-localization analyses have localized AJs to Turkey and that the non-Levantine origins of AJs are supported by ancient genome analyses.

Finally...
Revelation 12:12-13
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
...and where was Pergamos?
This is why DNA research is illegal in Israel without express authorization. They're trying to hide the truth even from their own citizens.
