Ah, so if the evidence is sufficient for you, it should be sufficient for everyone?
I wish we were able to find more transitional species, that would for a start stop people like you from talking about a missing link. As it stands our fossil records are extensive but far from complete. Substantiating the transitions makes to picture more complete, which is of more importance than you give credit for. Specially Tiktaalik was of importance, why? Because Shubin had correctly anticipated where to look, how far down to look, and what the species should resemble before actually finding it. That is very strong evidence in favour of Evolution through Natural selection than even Archaeopteryx.
