"Reproduction didn't evolve. Reproduction was a prerequisite before evolution could occur in the first place."

But reproduction *did* evolve in certain species. Hyaenas give birth to one or two extremely large cubs (to which the mother is barely able to give birth) because only very large cubs could survive in the hyaenas' environment and if more than two were born they would all die; this strange form of reproduction, unique to the hyaenas among African mammals, is almost certainly the result of evolution.

And, of course, if species with asexual reproduction eventually evolved into species with sexual reproduction, then that would be a case of macro evolution of reproduction.

Not to be too pedantic but replication did not evolve, the method of replication did.

And, of course, if species with asexual reproduction eventually evolved into species with sexual reproduction, then that would be a case of macro evolution of reproduction.

Its a argument and I will give it some credit. Environment can certainly determine the evolution of a species reproduction whether asexual or sexual. However before the changes can occur reproduction must occur.
