Let me tell you that nothing would make much sense in biology if it wasn't tied together by evolution, and yes working biologists put the theory to use on a very regular basis.

Okay, I'll bite. Give three examples where they use the theory on a regular basis. I bet any or all of the examples can be answered by genetics, ecology, physiology, or any of the other practical sciences.

These disciplines are no more than stamp collecting without evolution. Every time you have a novel DNA sequence in hand, you want to know if it is found in other organisms, and its homology to other known genes. Some proteins can take on novel functions in different contexts.
