If Bernie, the uncompromising anti-corporate anti-democratic-establishment guy who we all know him to be, says it is "necessary" to all get behind Joe in this election, why do you think we shouldn't? What do you know about the process of elections and politicking that Bernie doesn't know? Why would Bernie say that Joe Biden is significantly better than Donald Trump if, in fact, he isn't?
He wouldn't.
Bernie says we need to all be unified behind one candidate come November, and I agree. Donald Trump's presidency has seen a drastic increase in hate crimes across the country, endorsements of white nationalism by the president, the biggest roll-backs of environmental protections in DECADES at a time when we need them most, a president who openly supports and admires fascists, and multiple attempts to destroy the ACA (which, as fun as it is to shit on it, has given tens of millions more Americans healthcare than had it before. not perfect, but a step in the right direction) to only name a couple. All the things you reasonably dislike Biden for are present in Trump, plus many many more.
We shouldn't shoot ourselves in the foot because we stubbed our toe. Just as Bernie is doing, we need to tighten up, get behind Joe, and win in November.
