Hello, looking satellite imagery it seems Baker Lake is really an enclosed maritime bay instead a freshwater non-maritime body.

Not really - wikipedia lists elevation at 2m which indicates no bidirectional water exchange so clearly a lake.

I have understood the 2 m value is the height above "mean" sea level. But, natural=coastline is set approx in the high water mark and here tidal range is big. This is my doubt.

Well - i don't know the local situation. But water outflow is quite high (it drains more than 200k square km in a fairly wet region) and the connections to the ocean are narrow so it seems a reasonable assumption - naming as 'lake' also indicates surveyors had the same impression.
