Although mutation occurs randomly, a mutation throughout the whole human species is not exactly randomly. Like what you say, Darwin's theory mentioned that only the "poorer" characteristic through evolution would be taken off, leaving the useful ones behind.
Humans according to the evolution theory has mutated many times to give us what we are. Currently, the human species do not see any threat. So, the human body would not mutate under the current situation. However, if the situation changes to an extent whereby a mutation is required to survive, then the human species would evolve.

Well if humans evolve according to Darwin`s theory, we won`t be considered modern human anymore but rather an entirely new species of "Homo". Just like how "Homosapeane" and "Homoerectaus" aren`t the same. The next step in the tree that is man would be different, and not be "homosapeanes". So the answer to your question would be yes it is possible for there to be a step up from modern day humans.

It is evolving every day.... I have a child with 27 chromosones instead of the normal 26 and there are others out there that have similar "genetic defects" that is evolution in progress

Yes, we are evolving as we speak. Each time a new baby is born they are given a unique strand of deoxy-ribo nucleic acid. The more the climate, earth around us, weather, etcetera changes our new babies DNA adapts to fit in with our surroundings. This takes centuries, but all in all we are constantly changing and evolving.

The human body carries many burdens from its quadrupedal past. The knee and back have vast room for improvement. Will selective pressure to improve them given medical progress? It is uncertain.

We are still evolving. A specific example is brain capacity.

Easy, mutations happen randomly. Some are beneficial, and those individuals will live and prosper.
