Well, a lot of this gets into how you classify an intermediary.
But my point on whales is that if evolutionists found out that creatures appeared to be intermediaries between whales and fish, then they would say whales evolved from fish, and that land mammals evolved from whales, not that whales would be called anything but mammals.
They would posit the so-called intermediaries you speak of as having descended from whales, not the other way around.
