My original point is that we can PROVE there are similar features in vehicles, you can make many look like "transitions", which logically PROVES, that a transitional can exist with designed things.
Demonstrate many looking like transitions in a non-trivial nested hierarchy for which it's trivial to name items that cannot fit the scheme. Absent that your "proof" fails.

Re: It makes the trilobite one Kind ??? Lolling on the floor
I thought I've been pretty clear that the Kind or species is identified by the body structure. It may take some discussion to define it but that's the basic criterion.
So humans and chimps are the same kind. Glad you cleared that up.
(Remember you said length and size of bones doesn't matter).
Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Just applying your definition.
Basic body plan the same, not counting different size or length.
