Bahais often quote some hadiths in my view way out of place, context, and give it their own meaning.
They can continue to do that (We are free to do what we want), and even can do it here in this thread, as it's for debate. But like Quran and day of judgment, I will be providing a holistic contextualize each other approach to who the Mahdi is per Shiite hadiths as well I Will comment sometimes on Quran to support this.

This thread might or might not interest you.
One of the first issues, I want to post is the position of Ahlulbayt (a) according to sacred prayer of Imam Sajjad (a) as the final Ahlulbayt (a):

اَللّٰهُمَّ يَامَن
O Allah, O He who
خَصَّ مُحَمَّدًا وَآلَهٗ بِالْكَرَامَةِ
singled out Muhammad and his Household for honour,
وَ حَبَاهُمْ بِالرِّسَالَةِ
showed favour toward them with messengerhood,
وَ خَصَّصْهُمْ بِالْوَسِيْلَةِ
specified them for the mediation,[347] so
وَ جَعَلَهُمْ وَرَثَةَ الْاَنْبِيَآءِ
appointed them the heirs to the prophets,
وَ خَتَمَ بِهِمُ الْاَوْصِيَآءَ وَ الْاَئِمَّةَ
sealed with them the executors and the Imams,
وَ عَلَّمَهُمْ عِلْمَ مَا كَانَ وَ عِلْمَ مَا بَقِيَ
taught them the knowledge of what has been and what remains to be,
وَ جَعَلَ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي اِلَيْهِمْ
and made the hearts of the people incline toward them!
فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ
Bless Muhammad and his Household, the pure,
وَ افْعَلْ بِنَا مَا اَنْتَ أَهْلُهٗ فِي الدِّيْنِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
and act toward us with that of which Thou art worthy in religion, in this world, and in the next world!
اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ.
Thou art powerful over everything.[348]
