No a chimp will always be a primate, and a human will always be a primate. Both just primates? OMG that must mean they can evolve into one another using your logic.

And where did these primates come from?

Did not (according to evolution) they start out as a single cell and then a fish, and they became birds that became primates

That is the vertical evolution we are talking about.

When you find a semi chimp/man let us know.

Nope, birds are a different branch. But besides even if a bird did turn into a human how do I know you wouldn't claim the change isn't macroevolution because "its still a vertebrate"

Using the "its still a.." argument above the species level is wrong. For example if a newt turns into a hellbender that is macroevolution, even though both are salamanders. Saying "it is still a salamander" is just stating the obvious, and doesn't negate the fact that the change is macroevolution.
