Maybe all that, Linear, without quoting all that you said above, is simply a result of whales being mammals, like dolphins, like cows. Hard to say what God may or may not have done, when and for what reasons, I am quite reluctant to say I have all the answers myself just to try to make creation look good. This one gets relegated to the 'don't know really' pile, for me. But don't know which really is the only true answer, and is not evidence of evolution either. It is just as possible God gave them the ability to transverse short spans of land and they simply are not adapted to that at the moment, but maybe could be again someday. On the other hand, since lots of creatures were bigger thousands of years ago, shrinking or growing parts is kind of meaningless. Could just indicate longer lifespans even. Old whales are BIG whales. Any fish really. Do fish ever stop growing? There are some really big catfish in the Mississippi river. Big enough to eat you, really. And giant squid...
Aside from you telling me that you don't know the answer, I really am not following what you are saying. However, I will try to address some parts.

"I don't know" is not evidence for evolution. True, but I wasn't addressing "I don't know". I was pointing out fossil and genetic evidence that seems to support evolution.

Whales are not fish.

The Blue Whale is the biggest animal that has ever existed on Earth.

Some fish grow all their lives, some don't. Whales don't

This does not have anything to do with fossils that have the characteristics of whales except they have legs. Unless, you are saying that God put legs on them in the past (for walking, short distances?) and took them back off later.

There are catfish that can walk, walk across roads, to get to a channel of water on the other side. A bit of a hazard in parts of Miami. But catfish are not mammals to the best of my knowledge.They have gills only. A dolphin, or whale, can survive out of water, as long as it's skin stays moist. They transport them to aquariums in helicopters from time to time, no tank needed, just a spray bottle.
Whales breathe in air. They don't have gills so they don't need water in order to breathe. If they stay underwater too long they drown. What does this have to do with whales evolving from land mammals?

Maybe a better question is... WHAT'S THIS?
Why is this a better question in regard to evidence for or against evolution?
