It's rather a large subject, but the point remains the same; we're selecting desirable traits and retaining them, while, as you say, breeding out ones we don't want. This wouldn't be possible without evolution.
No, the point is not the same, and even your misunderstanding wasn't a refutation of his point. That people can intelligently breed out variation to get what they want in no way counters the argument that small changes generally do not have enough impact on reproductive success to fixate in a species.

Oh yes, I'm sorry. I thought that the fact that we can literally observe it happening in labs, see it reflected in genetic data and through the fossil record, and see more than a few interesting and advantageous singular mutations in modern humans might have also corroborated my claims a bit too.

I really don't see how much more of a refutation there can be. It's happening. We know it is. Apologies if this comes across as aggressively blunt, but seriously: when you can watch the changes occur and spread through populations of shorter-lived species, I really don't know what additional refutation is needed.
