He is only giving them legitimacy. He believes that Americans are being allowed to enter the airport in Kabul (which conflicts data from people on the ground). These people have a dark history,especially towards Christians and women. But he trusts them,why?

Ahhhh I just realised why... They promised him ice cream!! (His favourite flavour: Strawberry)

Biden has argued for US withdrawal from Afghanistan for years. It’s almost an article of faith for him. So it’s not surprising he prizes anything that validates his point of view and tries to play down anything that does not (like his own generals warning him of the disaster that has now, in fact, unfolded).
You have to wonder, however, what Donald Trump was thinking, meeting the Taliban in Doha and telling them America would leave Afghanistan. Nothing gives a terrorist group more legitimacy than an American president signing a treaty with it in the presence of global media.
