What we don't like is people who believe that a gap in the fossil record is evidence for CS/ID. Evolutionists have had over 150 years to find a "missing link" and everyone of them that I know of has been shot down. They also insists there are "gaps" in the fossil record, even though there's no real evidence for this either.
Evolutionists haven't found a fossil with their pre-conceived notions of a "missing link" yet they insist on the existence of such creatures. The belief in the existence of a "missing link" or many "missing links" in and of itself is based more on faith than observational science.

Where in this sequence would you place the missing link? There really is a pretty good sequence here. It would be nice to have a few more good crania, but I don't think the overall picture is too far off.

You have fallen for the Hovindite snake oil hook line and sinker. There have been, on this very forum, reams of information on the intermediate hominid fossils. Check out either PatrickHenry's List-O-Links or talkorigins.org. Talk Origins also has a number of posts which correct the misinformation Hovind puts out.
