Your source acknowledges the Council of Chalcedon. All discussions by scholars on the subject of the the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union do.

“The anhypostasia, impersonality, or, to speak more accurately, the enhypostasia, of the human nature of Christ. This is a difficult point, but a necessary link in the orthodox doctrine of the one God-Man; for otherwise we must have two persons in Christ, and, after the incarnation, a fourth person, and that a human, in the Divine Trinity.”
(Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, §142. The Orthodox Christology - Analysis and Criticism)

Schaff was a trinitarian, but he wasn’t a Roman Catholic.
Addressing the trinitarian’s refutation of your position should be done by addressing his argument.
He was a reformed Calvinist into ecumenicism, a weird combination. Not modern beliefs.

The Hypostatic Union isn’t a modern belief. You still haven’t addressed his argument.

“The orthodox doctrine of the incarnation promulgated at the Council of Chalcedon is emphatic that in the incarnate Christ there is one and only one, undivided person who has two distinct natures, one human and one divine. That one person is the second person of the Trinity, the Son, and is therefore divine. He is not a human person … There is only one person who is Christ, and that person is divine. Thus, there is no human person named ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus is a divine person, and medieval theologians were careful never to refer to Jesus as a human person.”

Craig is a Baptist. He isn’t speaking about the Orthodox Church. He’s speaking about “right” doctrine / teaching.
”In the context of Christianity, orthodoxy refers to the core beliefs that define the Christian faith. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church defines orthodoxy as ‘right belief, as contrasted with heresy’ (Cross, F. And Livingstone, E., ed., Oxford University Press, 2005, p. 1,200).“
