there is nothing about fossils that give “evidence” for evolution. evolution is merely a convinient explantion for the differing fossils.
Piling up facts is not science--science is facts-and-theories. Facts alone have limited use and lack meaning: a valid theory organizes them into far greater usefulness.
A powerful theory not only embraces old facts and new but also discloses unsuspected facts.

"there is nothing about fossils that give “evidence” for evolution"
Their morphology, chronology and distribution are all as would be expected from common decent. "evolution is merely a convinient explantion for the differing fossils."
What exactly do you think a Theory is?
"a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation."
So yes, the ToE is so darn convenient because it explains the evidence and makes testable predictions. How is that a bad thing?
