Possibly, and just possibly, Hagrid didn't realise the significance of the
"I don't be needing it anymore" at the time. Hagrid has been focused on
getting Harry out of the ruins. He emerges and is joined by Sirius. They
have an argument about who should take Harry, Sirius gives Hagrid the bike
and away he goes in search of Peter.

Hagrid thinks "oh well, just Sirius being melodramatic again, you know what
he's like".

Later he realises what Sirius really meant.
