Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?

There's a documentary called Revenge of "Billy the Kid" that doesn't go into too much detail, but might answer your question.

No.

The biological definition of a species is β€œa group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring” (in other words, the offspring need to also be able to reproduce; there are instances, such as mules, where two species reproduce but the offspring cannot themselves reproduce)

I don't think that definition matters, considering the fertility of offspring is irrelevant to OP's question.
