I just realized that I entirely missed another point. Just because Aguilar de Nerha gave the Apple of Eden to Christoper Columbus does not automatically mean that the Apple was interred in Columbus's tomb at the Seville Cathedral. How could Abstergo be so certain about this just from gleaming it was passed to Columbus? Of course... they turned out correct, but in all likelihood, it would not have been at his tomb. The Seville Cathedral wasn't even his original burial place. His body was moved hella times, including from Valladolid to a monastery in Seville, then to Santo Domingo in the modern Dominican Republic, then to Havana, before finally being moved to the Seville Cathedral. Not only was it unlikely that Columbus would have hidden his Apple of Eden in his burial site, but even if he did, given the fact he was moved so many times, it was very probable that the people that exhumed him the first time would have taken the Apple for themselves. And if they didn't, or if they missed it, the Apple would have been left in his original burial site. Instead, miraculously, at every point his body was moved, it appears that people moved the Apple with him. Perhaps they didn't know what it was and assumed it was just a personal treasure he should be buried with?
