Of course not!

I'm not going to call people stupid for it, just extremely misguided and illiberal.

I assume in a classical sense of the word.

No, and theistic evolution(ism?) is definitely not creationism.

I believe God created everything, how and when He did it I don't know and really don't care, to be honest.

Theistic Evolution does fall within the creation spectrum. If you believe God created the universe (methodology or chronology aside) you are a creationist at some level. I fall somewhere between literal 6day and a conservative view of the Day-Age theory meaning I believe the universe is somewhere 6-12 thousand years old.

I voted "theistic evolutionist", but I hate that label.  I believe there is a qualitative difference between beings who view death as an existential problem, and those that don't, and we're the only ones that we know do.  (Chimpanzees may have also experienced something akin to a 'Fall' in the Genesis 1-3 sense on certain issues; they've been known to mourn the dead, though not quite conduct formal funerals and rites.)

All great apes, as well as baboons and some other monkeys, have mourning periods.  Chimpanzees will hold onto a deceased infant for up to three months, grooming it and keeping it clean until the mother moves on.  Baboons will risk their lives to snatch an infant corpse from a predator.  Even more fascinating are the funeral rituals displayed by elephants, and a weird sort of reverence for their dead even when they do not know the elephants personally.  The elephant's period of bereavement is particularly long as well, potentially a minimum of six months but the period of debilitating grief is stark in the elephant and it may last even longer if the deceased is an especially close member of the family.

Ok Cool.  The Genesis narrative is more sweeping than anticipated, or hoped for.
