MissingNo. Kangaskhan Theory: True or False?

This theory states that Marowak was originally supposed to evolve into Kangaskhan, but there was a last-minute change that resulted in the developers having to move the data for that evolution to an unused hexadecimal slot, thus resulting in MissingNo. Today I will attempt to either prove or disprove this theory. Here I go!

Supporting Evidence:
Kangaskhan's child looks a bit like Cubone without the skull.
Cubone cries for its dead mother. Kangaskhan is the Parent Pokemon, and is always female.
In Glittering Cave (X and Y), you can encounter Cubone in the same spot as Kangaskhanite.
They do look a bit alike.
It would definitely explain MissingNo.
Kangaskhan has decently higher stats than Marowak, who has low stats for an evolved Pokemon.
Kangaskhan has a helmet-like patch on its head.

Disproving Evidence:
Kangaskhan and the Cubone line have a large difference in size.
Infant Kangaskhans and Cubones are different colors.
If a Cubone is bred, it is wearing a skull but the mother is still alive, with its skull.
Kangaskhan is a female only species; Cubone is 50/50
There are many coincidences like this, such as Venonat/Butterfree, Luvdisc/Alomomola and Entei/Raikou/Suicune=Flareon/Jolteon/Vaporeon
They aren't next to each other in the Pokedex.
Thinking about it again. they don't look TOO similar.

Did I prove or debunk this theory? You decide.
