I personally have not found one scripture to back this up.
Paul said " To be absent from the body present with the Lord"
Yeshua said to the theif on the cross " today you will be with me
in paradise" In the hebrew this Gan Eden, the Garden of Eden.
Solomon said in Eccles12:7 " The dust will return to the earth
as it was, And the spirit will return to YHWH God who gave it."
Nowhere does it actually say we go to heaven. Some answers
please.

The kingdom of heaven is mentioned many times... whether we go up there or it overtakes us here, it's not really all that important. What IS important is that we be found in the kingdom of heaven, and not outside, at the end.
When the kingdom of Heaven finally overtakes the entire world is at the following event:
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15

At the time of death, the soul and spirit leave the body. The body is put into the grave. In the case of believers, the body is described as sleeping, Acts 7:59, 60; 8:2, while the unsaved person's body is spoken of as dead. The soul and spirit never sleep. If the person who died was saved, the soul and the spirit go to a place of joy and happiness – heaven. II Corinthians 5:8; Phil. 1:21- 23. If the person was unsaved, the spirit and soul go to a place of sorrow and punishment - hell. In Luke 16:19-31, our Lord clearly teaches that those who have died are conscious

Perfect Happiness: Now and Forever
[41:30] Those who proclaim: "Our Lord is GOD," then lead a righteous life, the angels descend upon them: "You shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve. Rejoice in the good news that Paradise has been reserved for you.
[41:31] "We are your allies in this life, and in the Hereafter. You will have in it anything you wish for; you will have anything you want.
[41:32] "(Such is your) ultimate abode, from a Forgiver, Most Merciful."

Sorry but i can only clear this much up: You're not turned into an angel. Angels were created, and are considered by the bible to be a separate kind of entity. You aren't just poofed into one, unfortunately.

Yeah, you haven't read far enough.
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God. I will open your graves, and I will raise you from your graves, O my people."
Ezekiel
"No longer will a man say to his neighbor, Know the Lord! For you shall know me already. I will be your God, and you shall be my people!"
Jeremiah
"In those days, a mans life shall be as the life of a tree..."
Isaiah
"Enter into the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me drink..."
Jesus
"And they shall worship him day and night, forever, and he shall wipe away their tears..."
John the Revelator

You are right. Heaven and hell are childish concepts when concerned after death.
One can probably say, my life is in a hell or i am enjoying heavenly bliss while living on earth. They both are here and now.

I doubt that it says heaven in the Bible. If it does, I've never came across it. Fortunately my beliefs are independent of the Bible and doesn't include it's teachings.

It's right there between the lines of those verses and probably hundreds more.

It doesn't because we do not automatically go to Heaven ,when we die. We have to be judged first to see where we will go (Heaven, Purgatory,or Hell .)
