It seems you have proven that they could create a "missing link" quite easily if they wanted to. Maybe they DON'T want to? Nothing suprises me in this world anymore...

I'll give only one counter-argument, and it's more than enough, IMO.
Radiocarbon Dating
Fossils are the mineralized or otherwise preserved remains or traces (such as footprints) of animals, plants, and other organisms.

Sedimentary rock is rock that has formed from sediment, like sand, mud, small pieces of rocks. Over long periods of time, these small pieces of debris are compressed (squeezed) as they are buried under more and more layers of sediment that piles up on top of it. Eventually, they are compressed into sedimentary rock. The layers that are farther down in the Earth are older than the top layers.
The fossil of a bone doesn't have any bone in it! A fossilized object has the same shape as the original object, but is chemically more like a rock.
