There is no evidence of evolution in the slightest otherwise we would see plenty of animals at stages in their morphing cycle.
Such fossils are incredibly rare because they're incredibly old. Whatever fossil remains of the species you seek have, for the most part, been obliterated. What you seem to be asking for is a series of skulls from individuals of each and every generation that has existed between Homo Erectus and modern man. The further back in time you go, the more rare they are bound to be. OF COURSE only a few (pictured above) have been found.
And no one was standing around back then with a digital camera either.
