I've shown you that genes are not gauranteed to be passed down even when they're beneficial. I've shown that we have been unable to demonstrate it in the lab. And even if we assume it has on a cell by cell basis, does that still hold up that we were monkeys? No
Yet these are some of the things that are used to suppor the theory.

1. Genes don't have to pass down EVERY time they're beneficial. You're thinking one example again. Evolution suggests that in general over a population, beneficial genes are MORE likely to be passed down.
2. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is shown to occur in the lab.
3. I don't understand how you've shown that our similarity to apes doesn't mean we're linked. It suggests we have a common ancestor sometime in history.
Also you said a population always had resistance to say sickle trait, or a bacteria to antibiotics. Are you saying that mutation does not occur? or simply that mutation is not powerful enough to effect a change in an individual?
