There aren't any problems.
All of these people who claim that they can't find the missing link are fools. Science doesn't care about a missing link, and doesn't even use that term. Science does, however, use the term "transitional fossil" and they already have plenty. People who claim this mantra are only demonstrating how ignorant they are.
There used to be problems with evolution. Darwin, for example, proposed that "nervous fluid" flowed into different parts of the body that were under stress to cause those parts to evolve.
Now, of course, we have a far greater understanding of genetics than in Darwin's day.

The main problem of the theory of evolution is that there are observed and recorded instances when species seem to develop mutations almost instantaneously. This contradicts one of the main idea that evolution takes a large amount of time.
I believe there was one experiment where identical colonies of bacteria were subjected to an acid. Rather than all dying, there were 1 or 2 colonies that survived with heavy losses. Which is surprising considering that all colonies should have died as they were identical colonies of the same bacteria and were subjected to the same environment.
A shocker to say the least.
Some additions to the theory of evolution have delved into the realm of quantum mechanics that attempt to explain these occurrences. I believe there is a book called Quantum Evolution by Johnjoe McFadden out there.

i suppose the worst problem would be the development of human intelligence to the extent that we're (well actually you're) now trying to find fault with it to satisfy your religious delusions.

Many rock layers have fossils of very basic and yet very advanced organisms.
There has never been a found fossil, nor living example of animals that are in a "mid-evolution" state. (i.e. something with fins and legs)
Basic organisms still exist.

One of the main problems in human evolution is that there is still a missing link within our transformation from monkey to man. We still have not found all the fossils necessary to prove that humans definitely derived from monkeys. There is a gap.

There is no problem. It is a natural process.
