RE Haeckel;
“Doing the best we can with the information available to illustrate a point, when that point remains true is not a fraud, but doing the best we can. He was trying to educated the public in a mass publication. By your measure the drawing of atoms and particles using orbits is a fraud. In fact, drawing orbitals or even speaking of particles in those articles is a fraud. Worse, talking about collapse of the wave function is a fraud. Yet you can make claims about evolution, magic men in the sky, and metaphysical supernaturalism and that’s not a fraud?”
The history of science has judge him as doing the best he could to communicate the best he could to a popular audience. This is how adults interpret the work of other adults. What you are doing of course is trying to attribute a deception as a distraction from your lying about magic men and a magic universe.
Even if he intended to overstate the case, he was correct in stating his theory. And the theory remains although constantly refined as we understand how evolution functions by the combination of embryonic state and DNA supply and cellular byproducts. As such almost all evolution depends on modification of prior states to novel ends by regulating cellular development at the local level. It’s elegant really.
