This pshat is troublesome. The Targum Yanoson says that Moshe Rabbenu worried about Yehashua because of his humility. This pshat emphasizes their gaiva and not their humility. Maybe, the Meraglim felt that they are not worthy to benefit Hashem’s intervention so they have to do everything by themselves as they have exhausted all their zechusim but the geula is not tied to worthiness as it was a promise to the Avos. Once they entered EY now they had to be worthy to keep it.
