Now, maybe the evidence will one day tilt the other way, but the fact we don't see the transitionals strongly suggests to me they never existed in the first place.
This is the most fundamental problem with your position. Absence of
fossils of transitional forms does not equal absence of
actual transitional forms. You are treating the issue as if the fossils should be there when in fact that has not been shown to be true.
For your case to hold solid you would have to show somehow that transitional forms
cannot have existed and I don't think the fossil record is the best place to do this. This is because, once again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Plain and simple. You are not going to convince anyone that transitionals don't exist simply because we can't find them, haven't found them, or that they did not fossilize. I hope you can see that the fossil record is therefore incidental to the TOE in that it confirms it rather than defines it.
