Is your motivation for this religious? If not, and if you are just out to advance science, what else are you doing in this regard?
My motivations, or lack thereof, are irrelevant in this instance. Either answer the question, or don't answer it.

What is the purpose of having the stickers there. Why put disclaimer stickers for the theory of evolution but not for the theory of gravity atomic theory or any other theory in science at all. Why single out evolution?

Either answer the question, or don't answer it. You both seem to be asking about the same question.
The "stickers" are not designed to provide an improved view of science. They are meant to single out evolution as the only field of science, out of hundreds, for special treatment--identifying it as a theory, which to a layman means a guess. This is done from a religious viewpoint because some believers do not like the results of evolutionary science.
So, the sticker has one purpose--to destroy students' trust in the field of evolution, although evolution does not differ in its methods from other sciences.
The proponents of this viewpoint are almost universally acting from a religious belief, and are in no way trying to improve science. They are being dishonest in hiding their beliefs under the Trojan horse of ID, as pointed out by the Wedge Strategy a decade ago.
Is that clear enough?
