About your link, while bacteria can swap genetic material, there still needs to be at least two types of bacteria. Also, the fact is that it is far more probable for cellular life to mutate itself into extinction rather than become supposedly higher forms of life. Furthermore, while bacteria can get genetic material (from other bacteria), similar processes haven't been shown in any multi-cellular organism. Rather than being considered evolution, the gene swapping could be considered a form of mating (without production of immediate offspring) in that there is a mixing of genetic material. bye again.
