If they had an easy way to counterfeit the evidence, they probably wouldn't have resisted for so long. For example, if it only took them a week to fake everything, they could have said "check us" in early December so they can claim that there was no fraud and make us look dumb.
But nearly three months after the election, it's not hard to believe they eventually figured out the best way to fake the evidence. Otherwise, they may have blamed some random arsonist that committed suicide with a few gunshot wounds to the back of the head for destroying everything. Then the press reveals that the arsonist had social media pages created a week ago with nothing but pro-Trump stuff on them.
It's easy to fake. The only hard part is making sure that no one involved spills the beans. The more people you bring in to help, the faster it goes, but the greater the risk you get exposed by a slip up or whistleblower. This way, with months to work with instead of days, they can prepare for the audit it with just a small number of people, get their stories straight, etc. The "tamper proof" seals for example can just be sealed after the fact as long as all parties that signed off are in on it, and so on.
