Because it would means that there are no differences from any of them. Especially since all life on earth comes from the same ancestor being single-celled organisms.

Yep. If you extend it beyond just "fish" it gets REALLY silly.

Yes it does. You are mixing up two different ways of classification and calling that a "gotcha". It can sound impressive to someone who doesn't know any of this but it really just makes you look dumb to anyone with more than the most basic knowledge of the matter.
