How do you know, and what's your definition of "information?" Because, that's kind of an airy, vague word.
That is not at all accurate. There is no requirement that information be preserved. Any amount of change may occur.
You are focused on the wrong thing. It is a blind algorithm encompassing random change and reproductive success.

So you can't name a living evolutionary biologist besides Dawkins (who hasn't done anything except popularize other people's research for decades). So you aren't exactly up on your evolutionary theory. Right-o. Go away now.
crick (nobel laureate) thought of the beginning of life as a lucky accident that occurred somewhere in the U. so he advanced the theory of directed panspermia which is an approach to explain life's first occurrence on earth as the work of aliens by seeding it with life.
That explains precisely nothing - it just moves the origin.
The lucky accident occurring on earth is a simpler explanation.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
