Yes, that's such a widespred and annoying misconcepion it should be #1, but not only pertaining to humans as the goal. Way too often evolution in general is thought to be goal oriented, and/or lamarckian and in stages!
Any fan of star trek has to suffer through a similar, completely misleading representation of evolution. I have a much harder time accepting that than the fantasy physics. Sure, modulate the subspace matrix with your deflector shield generator all you want, you have this physicist's blessings because it could easily refer to so far undiscovered physical phenomena. But we know how evolution works and members of a humanoid species suddenly hitting their next evolutionary stage and turning into an energy being? No, just no!
