We don't see Flowey's HUD tho.

The soul getting taken out can STILL be interpreted as just a visual thingy, and not necesssarily as what is actually happening. And that's because then, we need not assume such things to begin with.

Most of the stuff you are calling the mechanics of this world can just be interpreted as the limitations of the game's visual aspect and the battle interface that Toby created.

As for the evolution explanation, unfortunately, intelligent design is more reasonable. You'd need to make so many assumptions for it, it's ridiculous.
