Well, I predict that scientists will study this bacteria through thousands, then millions, and eventually billions of generations, and in the end they will still be bacteria.

Are you trying to pretend that all bacteria are the same? What about this:

The Phyla of Bacteria (from Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology 1st ed.)

Name of Phylum Number of Species Number of Genera
Aquificae 27 12
Xenobacteria 29 11
Chrysogenetes 1 1
Thermomicrobia 13 6
Cyanobacteria 78 62
Chlorobia 17 6
Proteobacteria 1644 366
Firmicutes 2474 255
Planctomycetes etc. 13 5
Spirochaetes 92 13
Fibrobacter 5 3
Bacteroids 130 20
Flavobacteria 72 15
Sphingobacteria 76 22
Fusobacteria 29 6
Verrucomicrobia 5 2

Certainly not. I'm simply stating that bacteria only reproduce bacteria.
