the answer you state for the Rambam why he ommitted the requirement for the tuma who shected kodsim to say that he did not touch is because chibas hakodesh according to Rambam is only drabunan. if that is the case then he should be allowed to shect lcotchila.

Although the Tum'ah would be d'Rabanan, we are stringent with the Tum'ah of Kodesh, and we make precautions that Kodesh should not become Tamei. (See Mishnah Chagigah 3:1 for some examples.) Therefore, l'Chatchilah we will not allow a Tamei to perform Shechitah. However, once he did, it is only a Safek d'Rabanan.

Question on your answer, that the Rambam holds that Chibas HaKodesh is Miderabanon.
Isn't dam shchita makshir the korbon?
Moshe
Your question is addressed by Tosfos (2b, DH Shema Yiga). He writes that Dam of Kodshim is not Mach'shir to be Mekabel Tum'ah. His source is the Gemara in Pesachim (16a, 20a).
