Evolution theory does not predict half-man, half-ape creatures. It predicts a gradual succession of creatures that look like men but are progressively more hairy, less intelligent, and less upright as we move back through time (along with other sundry reshaping issues such as foreheads sloping back etc).

Look at a australopithecus fossil thats not just "a hunched-over, small-brained, hairy man".
That is the "missing link" you're looking for.!

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
