By putting out a definition it allows us to classify things by shared characteristics. We can say automobile evolution and biological evolution are the same class of thing because they share these same characteristics.

Neither your definition nor your examples are isomorphic to biological evolution.
Therefore, your arguments do not apply to biological evolution.
You've gone coo-coo. A water clock is not isomorphic to a pocket watch but both are time pieces. Arguments about time pieces would apply to both to pocket watches, and water clocks.
