The electron and the proton are particles well tested and explained. You have two particles that attract each other because of their unlike charges. These particles would naturally form a binary just like gravitational bodies. How else could they possibly exist?
This is an absolute certainty. There is no other way they can exist except in isolation as separate particles at higher temperatures .
Can you explain how QM would show the formation of the HA? I do not believe it would be any different.

You really have to get away from the Bohr model of the neutral hydrogen atom and use QM. If you don't then you're going to have an interesting time deriving the 21 cm emission band (among many other properties) beloved by astronomers.
(For the more mathematically inclined have a look at

to see how it's done, but be warned that it may not be suitable for the faint of heart.
