Even the cryptographically generated ID suffers ID theft/forgery,
then what about the ordinay ID without such security mechanism?

For ILNP, please read the I-Ds and see the past notes
to this list.  I can't speak to other concepts here.

Again, note that precisely the same issue exists today
in the deployed Internet -- for IPv4 and also for IPv6.

Yes. However, the id/locator split will make the situation worse if no
special security mechanism is taken.

ILNP has some very practical low computational complexity
mechanisms to provide protection.  For protection equivalent
to ordinary IPv6 (without IPsec), the Nonce suffices.
As with IPv6, ILNP can optionally use IP Security to provide
stronger cryptographic protections.  (Of course, HIP uses
IP Security also.)

Cheers,

PS:  A revised set of ILNP I-Ds came out on Wednesday this week.
