where are all the intermediate species?

has anyone really done the math on this?

do mutation rates, genome variability, etc. add up to the possibility of
the range of species we do have?

Evolution 'put itself in place' in exactly the same way as gravity put
itself in place or diffraction of light put itself in place.

What do you mean by "intermediate"? There are innumerable examples of
a range of fossil species leading from some ancestral form to some
modern form. The lineage leading to humans is included in these
examples.

Yes, someone has really done the math on this. The subject is called
population genetics and has a very long and extremely technical basis.

Yes, it all adds up.

Perhaps you should learn some evolution and biology before asking
trivial questions.
