Seems like an interesting issue for evolution: "I don't have any use for oxygen, but my progeny will die without it."

I'm having a hard time seeing how this would evolve via incremental steps.

"animals have been discovered that live their entire lives without oxygen and surrounded by 'poisonous' sulphides"

Big deal - George Soros has been doing it for years and thriving.

Well this explains it then.

I wondered how the Moonbat DUmmies exist in mommies basement breathing nothing but carbon monoxide from the old oil furnace great-grandpa installed in 1939.

Recall, dear reader, that conventional theory postulates that Earth’s early atmosphere had no oxygen in it when life developed. When poisonous oxygen appeared (due to plants?) the existing life had to adapt to oxygen or die. Apparently, some of these original organism’s descendents are still hanging around.
