That's because a transitional fossil is a misnomer, they are all what you claim a transitional fossil is (are?).
You've seen paintings by Van Gough?
They are made up of thousands of tiny brush strokes each like a tiny mutation of the canvas, brush stroke upon brush stroke until the canvas is a completed painting. At what point do the accumulated brush strokes become transitional from blank canvas to the completed painting?
And I'd like to add:
Given mutations, millions of years and billions and billions of creatures, you'd need a mechanism that actually actively prevents evolution from happening. Like a reset-button. What is it?
