You misunderstand the analogy
"The problem with your buldozer analogy is that it has no way to keep beneficial mutations and discard harmful ones."
The bulldozer is not an analogy of a complete organism. It is an analogy of the simplest biological mechanisms for life to exist and reproduce - step 1 on the evolutionary ladder. If Evolution is Scientific fact with piles of concrete evidence, show me how we reached this first step. I've read all the theories - they are equivalent to my bulldozer analogy.
"Living creatures did not just evolve to maintain our atmosphere as it is. They made it the way it is."
Did they form a committee and vote on how it should be and who's job it is to maintain it?
Kepler's Laws:
1. The orbit of a planet about a star is an ellipse with the star at one focus.
2. A line joining a planet and its star sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. This is also known as the law of equal areas.
3. The squares of the orbital periods of planets are directly proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axis of the orbits.
There's nothing there about the rate of orbital decay.
However, at it's current location, the temperature of the Earth would be around 0 deg Fahrenheit without the atmosphere's greenhouse gases to warm it up.
Plate Tectonics shows that Mountains can form quickly. I have no problem with this. Erosion rates as observed within relatively recent history (since the settling of America) show that geological structures existing today can't be millions of years old - unless erosion has somehow increased drastically in recent history.
Here's a link relating to some present day erosion

I am not aware of any research investigating the ability of heavy construction machinery to self-assemble. However there is a lot on the self assembly of amino acids and similar complex molecules. Go ahead do a google search. Anyway that is abiogenesis, not really evolution. I can't see "Goddidit" as a better explanation. Remember - "God of Gaps" is not a rational argument.
