Theoretical evidence is qualified as such because it isn't really evidence.
Theortectical evidence is the equivlent of my PSP being gone and my using that as proof that someone stole my PSP.
It just seems like the most likely explination to me. No real evidence... it's just... you know something is happening. That's the theoretical evidence, and your reasoning why is the theory. In this case multiple universes.
There has been lots of very strong theoretical evidence for all kinds of things that never really existed, things like Ether, global cooling (actual evidence there too even) etc.
You could use the same theoretical evidence used for different dimensions and instead apply that information as proof of many other different theories.

No you really have it completely wrong, what you had with your PSP was a hypothesis.
Theoretical physics is basically explanations of observed phonomena through mathematics and abstractions, it isn't just making something up and going 'it's a theory!'. Also just because some theoretical physics was wrong doesn't mean that the entire field is bogus, that's just not how science works.
Also global cooling wouldn't be under theoretical physics.

I didn't say the field is bogus. I said it isn't proof. The theoretical physics that suggests different universes... also suggests many other possibilties.

Well your PSP analogy implied that you thought it was simply things being made up.
