When that bacteria evelves into a different kind of life, that will be evolution.

That would be a redefinition of the term evolution.

Evolution is change in the gene pool of a population over time. Under that definition, which is still the one used in the world of biology, this is evolution.

Evolution is a change in form. i.e. Life came from the sea, developed legs, fur, feathers, wings, etc.

A bird developing a bigger beak in dry seasons due to thicker seed husks is not evolution. It is still a bird. When that bird is observed becoming something other than bird, get back to me.

Only if you agree that the theory of evolution that claims all life on earth evolved from the very first single-celled form of life. If you don't, then my comment still stands. Call me when the bacteria turns into a cat or something.
