bit (in English) is not pronounced the same as bite (in French). The French word is closer in pronunciation to “beet” or “beat” in English.
Also, “coq” and “cock” are not really pronounced the same either. The English word with the closest pronunciation to “coq” is “coke”.

Wrong, it's pronounced exactly like the English "bit".
