Your post strongly suggests that you are judging the adequacy of the evidence without even a good idea of what evidence actually is known. Not a very good start.
Provided you do not demand more than the fossil evidence can reasonably provide there are sequences which seem to fit the bill. One well-known example is horse evolution.
This article is 7 years old (and therefore out of date - fossils of previously-unknown species continue to be discovered) but covers the transitionals in the vertebrates.
Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ
It includes plentiful references for further reading - if you have access to a university library or similar resource.

Re: This does not prove Evolution
The horse series is not a complete lineage - there are all similar types of horses..
Hyracotherium is a "similar type of horse" ?
I don't think so. And of course any lineage is going to include ots of similar species - thats how evolution works.
If you are just going to declare that the evidence doesn't exist because you refuse to look at it then there is really no room for discussion with you.

And that is a perfect example of creationism in action.
Refuse to look at the evidence and then pretend it isn't there.
That should certainly not be taught in schools.
