“And none of that counts as evidence?”
Sure, it can be evidence, but it can be evidence for either position. Evolutionists would say: “common features = evidence for common descent”, while creationists would say: “common features = evidence for common designer”.
Is there anything other than theological doctrine preventing them from both being right? As near as I can tell, the only thing standing in the way of finding common descent from common design is insistence on assuming the literal phrasing of the Book of Genesis is scientifically accurate description of events.
Written / spoken language has proven to be a notoriously unreliable and limited means of conveying an idea.
