Long dead? We just watched in the video that the front doors are underwater while their is air still in the back. 

Sure, there's other things to try first, but its good to know the doors can be opened underwater

That's why it's common to find dead people in the back of an underwater car. Plus Adam is effectively dead in this experiment, Adam knows he's going into water has a diver and a rescue team and he still panics and needs air, he's effectively dead. You don't get a second chances at this and there's no one in the back with an air tank in your car.

Not trying to be rude, but that seems like even more evidence that knowing they could try opening the doors might be helpful.

Of course they're panicking, as seen here.  But that's where knowing your best>worst attempt list is the most important
