it seems to me that evolution implies moving from one state to a better or more "progressive" state (e.g., improved survival fitness).

Why? To evolve is merely to exhibit new characteristics. The potential was there already, and the new characteristics wouldn't have to be higher or better, or worse for that matter.

Why?

Because that is, as creationists and evolutionists agree, what has actually happened.
