To the best of my knowledge there is no known mechanism by which red meat causes colon, colorectal, or rectal cancel, but if you know of a study please report it here.

Even if we take epidemiological studies at face value, the most recent meta-analyses, like this one, suggest a hazard ratio of 1.2 on average across these cancers, which would roughly translate (for the case of these cancers) to 1.2 high red meat eaters in 100 getting this type of cancer instead of 1 mostly vegetarian in 100, this is a 0.2 percentage points difference.

Objectively, factoring in what the average high red meat and the average vegetarian/vegan diets look like, the former one being largely driven by fast food and the second one being the result of a more health conscious approach, this is "evidence" pointing to the opposite direction, namely, the direction that red meat might be actually the (indirectly) protective component in a junk diet; because obesity and type 2 diabetes have hazard ratios of 1.3 on average, each standalone, and the best path to reach these conditions would be to replace whatever meat exists in junk food with more carbs. So, if you are having junk food, at least make sure that it is "based" around meat, and not sugar.

The earliest sign of **** appeared around the time when the ice age started, 2.5 million years ago, before that, we, as in great apes, where largely herbivores. Eating nutrient-dense food in the form of animals during the ice age, their meat, their fat, their organs, their marrow, allowed for our brains, an energy hog when compared proportionally to the rest of our bodies, to develop.

Like, really, what is good (necessary even) for our brain and cognitive function? Iron, ω3s, B vitamins, especially B12, Vitamin D, Choline. Where are all these found in abundance? Eggs, fish, and meat (dairy helps too).
