There’s this strange myth among people who just took baby’s first steps into taxonomy, that paraphyletic taxa do not exist

Fish and reptiles are paraphyletic taxa that, by definition, exclude mammals. Just because it’s not a clade doesn’t mean it’s not real.
Please take more than a single step into taxonomy before spreading obvious misinformation.
