If you really want all the fossils dating the intervals of our species evolution, I'll gladly pull them up for you.
This assumption is patently false. Humans are the only bipedal species without tails. Why haven't other bipeds lost the use of their tails? Kangaroos? Or Tyrannosaurus Rex? Or even birds? Birds are all bipedal, yet they all have feathery tails.

Also, Brother William makes a salient point...

So now we humans are all wearing shoes so before long we probably won't need any toes at all. How are our toes going to figure all this out and pass along DNA to our children so that their toes will be smaller?
I find it hard to believe that, even if we were to assume evolution to be true, that species would lose traits even if they didn't use them. Evolutionists like to say traits evolve because they aid in survival, which is why they would say a dolphin has smooth skin so it can swim faster, for example.

But if something isn't needed, but has absolutely no negative effect on the species, then why would it disappear? Imagine a large group of tailed proto-humans. They adopt a more upright stance and breed. A tailless human at this point would be a mutant, and we know mutations are recessive. Why would the tailless human's genes suddenly cancel out all other genes which give tails? Granted, the tail has no survival advantage...but it also has no survival disadvantage either.

Why would tailed humans die out and tailless humans thrive? What makes tailless humans so superior in survival than a tailed human? Answer that!
