But the Anglican Church had no existence whatsoever prior to Henry VIII's getting married.

The Anglican Church is arguably older than the Roman Church. It was already in existence when Constantine (if memory serves) sent missionaries with his soldiers to conquer England.
The modern ECUSA does not represent Anglican theology anymore. Many of us left when the 1928 Book of Common Prayer was ditched in favor of the 1979 BCP, which laid the groundwork for every heresy we see in the modern ECUSA.
The Reformed churches represent a more traditional Protestant liturgy, and the Anglican Catholic Churches represent the Oxford movement - our services at solemn High Mass are as close as you can get (outside the Greek Orthodox, I suppose) to the way Christians worshipped in the first several centuries after our Lord's resurrection.
