I found a solution and I am posting it here for those who might face the same issue:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/set-intermediary-relationships-in-cred-new-post-form/

of course the title of that post does not reflect the content and I actually found it accidentally when I was looking into a different issue.

Basically the code to do this is:

[cred-relationship-form form='form-name' parent_item='$doctor_id' child_item='$patient_id']

you replace the form_name with your form name and replace $doctor_id with your parent post id and $patient_id with the child id, and you can populate those automatically through views (has to be stripped out of additional markup to work) which fetches those numbers for you.

I am astonished to why I was not directed to that simple solution by any of the supporters! That'd have saved me 2-3 months of my life and a missed deadline!!
