I can simplify my argument for you, what portion of the research in these fields would become invalid if the theory of evolution is incorrect or incomplete? Is the theory of evolution required to understand how the heart functions, to predict weather patterns, or to understand rock formations? Do you need evolution to exist to know that the ancient Egyptians mummified their dead, to recognize that someone is schizophrenic, or for a dolphin to be classified as a mammal?
Unless a field depends upon evolution in order to operate, you can not say that it is hypocritical to accept that field while denying evolution. In many of these fields of study the bulk of the understanding of the field was done before evolutionary theory came to be, most of the work is done today with little consideration towards evolution, and these fields would continue to operate even if it turns out our planet was an intergalactic Petri-dish.
