1) Of course you did not read the article I linked "The Myths of Medieval Warfare".
2) You are wrong that there was no tactics, discipline and flexibility in Medieval warfare (read the article).
3) There were no any "period equivalents of Medieval armored warriors" in the Ancient period.
=====================================
Gesith:
4) The "tendency to fight on foot" among the knights was everywhere when it was necessary.
5) In Medieval Poland in the 1300s knights were among people responsible for the defence of castles.
6) How do you think a person can defend a castle wall or a castle tower on horseback?
7) Knights were not only nobility, often also people from other social groups were knights.
=====================================
8) Some people on this forum only have eyes for the Romans, which is why they aren't objective in this thread.
9) Deremilitari.org is among the best websites about Medieval warfare - I recommend it.
