*** WARNING ***
Your kind of post is likely to atract sarcasm and mockery.
Here is why:
What you pointed out as being supposedly problems for the theory of evolution, are instances of what people around here simply call PRATTs (Points refuted a thosand times). That's right. the points you are making have already been refuted.
To make things worse, you contradicted yourself by first caiming that god made us perfect, and then claiming that we are not perfect since we can't fly, we can't breath under water, and we don't have four arms. That would be a problem for your theory that god created us perfect. That's not a problem for the theory of evolution, though, since it does not claim that evolution made us perfect.
So, you are actually defending the theory of evolution unvoluntarily. That's likely to atract mockery and sarcasm.

What an American considers "masculine", a Tchambuli in Africa considers "feminine".
Specifically, hunting is a "masculine" activity to an American, a "feminine" one to the Tchambuli.
Getting all gussied up with makeup and such is a "feminine" trait to an American, a "masculine" trait to the Tchambuli.
Well, sure. But no body here is talking about those things. We are talking about the evolution of the two sexes. To use the word "genders" instead of "sexes" may be a slight missuse of the word, but not a really serious one, I don't think. (Some diccionaries even quote those wors as synonimes). That's why I said you were splitting hairs.
