How can people say that the time of day when you workout doesn’t matter?

Your body obviously needs protein to build muscle, but your body can’t store protein. It can’t store any of the amino acids, let alone the whole polymer chain that makes up the protein because they’re just so big and wouldn’t fit inside any cells. Once protein gets digested, it either gets used to make muscle, be stored as fat, or come out the other end. This means that the protein you ate at 8AM-1PM isn’t used to build muscle if you work out at 4PM. The only proteins that is used to build muscle is the protein digested after the workout.

Am I wrong? I’m mostly asking for outside opinion since I’ve never crossed this question online.
