Again, you cannot modify evidence to fit a theory. You only modify interpretations of evidence.
That you believe that you can modify evidence shows that you do not understand the difference between evidence and extrapolation.
When I speak of evidence in this context I am including both the data and the interpretation.

I am not talking about modifying the physical data, I am talking about modifying the collected data points and/or it's interpretation.
Those that are active in developing baraminology are primarily interested in making the classification of organisms fit the Biblical account whether or not the morphology of the organisms indicate otherwise. Following the evidence entails allowing the evidence to determine the interpretation; this is in conflict with the stated goals of the Baraminologists.
If two species have numerous morphological similarities and few differences, baraminologists will place the two in separate baramines if the Bible so dictates. In this case, whales would be placed in with fish rather than with mammals even though whales are distinctly mammals. The evidence is that whales are mammals - they have far more in common with mammals (they share diagnostic features with mammals) than with fish -, yet baraminologists can ignore that evidence and focus on the fact that whales and fish both live in the water and are classed as fish by the Bible, then decide to place them together in a single baramine. Selectively ignoring part of the data is an example of modifying the evidence to fit the theory.
I have never suggested that the physical data be modified.
