HS and middle school biology can be taught with or without the details of evolution. The roles of mitochondria and photosynthesis can still be taught. It's not the "evisceration of biology".
I can also teach the principles of hydraulic flow by giving you a formula. But to understand how that formula is derived, now I need calculus. So, I'd argue that excluding evolution would oomit half of the story. Evisceration? Maybe not, maybe so.

And none of this is relevant to having an understanding of the science. As someone who has taken many, many, many biology classes, the theory of evolution is normally mentioned in passing. In fact, we spent very little time on it in my basic biology classes in college. I think we spent as much time on it as we did just so the teacher could needle the Bible-thumping nursing students in there. It's not a core part of the curriculum.
