show evidence of oxygen-Nitrogen based atmospheres. They also show evidence of moisture. While we haven’t found evidence of life,

Ummm, free oxygen is evidence of life.

Raw oxygen is quickly consumed in chemical reactions, it rusts away, if you will. See Mars.

Still, thousands of locally observable planets with scummy algae choked waters doesn't show the presence of intelligent life on any of them.

I never said that. All I said is we have found planets that are capable of supporting life. Just today FNC is reporting the discovery of another one Lepler 452. Check it out.
