What with the definition of species being so vague as to be worthless and is used by evos as best suits their purposes, I can understand how evos say that speciation has occurred. But their saying so doesn't make it so.
Fruit flies are still fruit flies and bacteria are still bacteria.
When anyone can demonstrate document the kind of change that makes a clearly different and unique species that is not identifiable as the original parent organism, then the evos might have a case, but that has not been yet demonstrated in the lab and lining up fossils doesn't rise to the level of a repeatable, observable experiment conducted in a lab.

How about wolves to chihuahuas? That’s a morphological change VASTLY greater than apes to humans, and yet (most) Creationists put wolves and all dogs into the same “kind”. Imagine if chihuahuas were the only extant dog breed - Creationists would sooner put them into the same kind as rats. :-) And that occurred in just in a few thousand years.
Also, paleontologists don’t have to line up fossils - they’re already conveniently lined up as evolution would predict in the earth.
And every fossil that’s dug up is another experiment for evolution. There’s specific patterns that evolution predicts for the fossil record (as dictated by taxonomy), and so far evolution has faced millions of tests by the millions of fossils dug up for the past few centuries and has passed them all.
