I don't think you know all that much about evolution. Speciation or as some call it, 'macro-evolution', is in most cases simply lots of 'micro-evolution'. You conceed that the bacteria can 'micro-evolve', what exactly is to stop lots of these small changes from adding up until you can tell it is the same creature?
And what if someone were to show you new species evolving? Would you believe it then?
Here is a list speciation events, along with a nice little discussion about what species are.
