What's your view?
I completely agree with your opinion

I think laszlo polgar is not more of a chess player, in fact according to a docu he is just a novice . But he is best known of raising a child as best women chess players in the world.

I don't know of very many chess personalities. I have heard of many, of course; however, I don't really know much bout them. I am very familiar with GM Yasser Seirawan from several of his "Winning Chess" series books and his many videos on YouTube. He is a great "chess communicator" and instructor. While he is very knowledgeable, he is also very humble and even self-deprecating at times.
This video is for beginners where he explains some great concepts for beginners, while at the same time showing how he "lost" one of his first tournament games (age 12) from a "non-checkmate". He is not above sharing some of his mistakes . . .
(The audio does get better a few minutes into the video.)

Hardly a novice with books like this https://www.amazon.com.au/Chess-5334-Problems-Combinations-Games/dp/1579125549
My point was that he did not differentiate between women and men chess players, what is the point of a women's league?
