Now, take that camera eye, remove the cornea/lens combo, and you have whats known as a pinhole camera. You can step this back further into a pigment cup by simply flattening the curvature around the photoreceptive cells. Of course you can go a step further and just have those cells sitting on a suface that is in no way curved around them...and you have an eye-spot. All four of these eyes (our camera, the pinhole camera, the pigment cup, and the eye-spot) function, and each one is represented in creatures both alive and extinct. This is a very very roughshod run over the development of the eye,

Indeed it is roughshod. Whether you could simply remove some parts and have the eye remain functional is questionable at best. A pinhole eye without the reflective tissues would still need to be processed by capable nerves. There are additional tissues present around the cornea and lens that need to be part of the package. The cornea and lens themselves require multiple mutations each to grow in the right part of the eye, the right shape and size, at the correct time. That's IC- when you need a host of random DNA changes to occur at once. I might also do well to point out that pinhole eyes function best in areas of low-light intensity. An organism making the transition between pinholes and cameras would have to simultaneously move to land, or become diurnal. It might need eyelids and eyelashes. All of this while scientists doubt whether the Nautilus is related to primates at all.
