But no person can call the location of Beorn, Radagast and all there friends coincedence.

It is certainly no coincidence. Tolkien put the two near each other for the sole purpose of giving Gandalf a way to relate to and make a friend out of Beorn.

Radagast definitely had some hand in the ancestral lines of Beorn, whether directly or indirectly.

How can you make a statement so bold?

Man-magic? I think the Numenoreans were a little above men. Even the nearby woodmen and the Rohirrim (the closest relatives to the Beornings) had no power like transfiguration. Dalelanders, Bardings, Esgarothians? Nope. Actually, the Numenoreans didn't either. Their magic was more in the form of prophecy, omen and strong blood lines. Beorn just had straight up magic, like Gandalf (or Radagast).

The Noldor alone made the Silmarils and the Three Elvish Rings of Power - did the Sindar? The Nandor? The Vanyar? No, they didn't. Then - did they ever try? Did they attempt to learn how? Beorn's shape-shifting was learned as any other sorcery or craftmanship, clearly a different sort of magic than that held by two beings that had the potency to exist outside of creation.
