The similarities simply show there was a common designer.
That assumption falls apart on inspection. A "common designer" would not have "designed" a defective vitamin C gene that no longer works in humans. This makes no sense if we were made by a mere "designer", but it entirely understandable, if we evolved as intended by an omnipotent Creator.
Which directly contradicts the Bible. This ridiculous, corrosive notion that humans are animals
We are demonstrably animals. Primates to be precise. The key is, God says that's not all we are. We came from the earth like all animals, but then God directly gives us a living soul. We aren't a body. We are a soul, who has a body.

Turns out, Darwinians like Punnett and Morgan showed that Hitler's racial and eugenic ideas were not only evil, but scientifically unsupportable. Punnet showed that Hitler's and Tinkel's proposals would take hundreds of years to even begin to improve the human genome.
Creationists like ICR co-founder Wm. Tinkel were, like Hitler, enthusiastic eugenicists.

Such crimes were more or less sanctioned by Darwin's book,
You've been misled about that. Darwin condemned even allowing less fit humans to die, as an "overwhelming evil." (Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man)
On the other hand, as late as the 1990s, creationists like ICR co-founder Henry Morris was writing about the supposed intellectual and spiritual inferiority of black people:
Yet the prophecy again has its obverse side. Somehow they have only gone so far and no farther. The Japhethites and Semites have, sooner or later, taken over their territories, and their inventions, and then developed them and utilized them for their own enlargement. Often the Hamites, especially the Negroes, have become actual personal servants or even slaves to the others. Possessed of a genetic character concerned mainly with mundane matters, they have eventually been displaced by the intellectual and philosophical acumen of the Japhethites and the religious zeal of the Semites.
Henry Morris, The Beginning Of the World, Second Edition (1991), pp. 147
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.
― Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man
Darwin was here deploring what he was seeing being done by developed nations against native peoples. He scandalized creationists by opposing slavery and declaring that if a group from the "savage races" were to be brought to England, they would, in a few generations, be just like Englishmen.
It's no coincidence that creationism is most popular where racial discrimination and segregation were legally enforced.
This is not to say that all creationists are racists; many (perhaps a majority) are not. But YE creationism, at it's roots, is based on racism.
Admit what evolutionists have said in rare moments of honesty, that the great number of transitional fossils which Darwin predicted would be found and that his ideas depended on, haven't been discovered.
Well, let's see what a knowledgeable YE creationist has to say...
Evidences for Darwin’s second expectation — of stratomorphic intermediate species — include such species as Baragwanathia27 (between rhyniophytes and lycopods), Pikaia28 (between echinoderms and chordates), Purgatorius29 (between the tree shrews and the primates), and Proconsul30 (between the non-hominoid primates and the hominoids). Darwin’s third expectation — of higher-taxon stratomorphic intermediates — has been confirmed by such examples as the mammal-like reptile groups31 between the reptiles and the mammals, and the phenacodontids32 between the horses and their presumed ancestors. Darwin’s fourth expectation — of stratomorphic series — has been confirmed by such examples as the early bird series,33 the tetrapod series,34,35 the whale series,36 the various mammal series of the Cenozoic37 (for example, the horse series, the camel series, the elephant series, the pig series, the titanothere series, etc.), the Cantius and Plesiadapus primate series,38 and the hominid series. 39Evidence for not just one but for all three of the species level and above types of stratomorphic intermediates expected by macroevolutionary theory is surely strong evidence for macroevolutionary theory. Creationists therefore need to accept this fact. It certainly CANNOT be said that traditional creation theory expected (predicted) any of these fossil finds.
YE creationist Dr. Kurt Wise, Toward a Creationist Understanding of Transitional Forms
Instead we see new species appearing fully developed, as the Bible states.
Even YE groups like AIG and the ICR now admit that new species evolve from existing ones. Would you like me to show you that?
