Djoser's pyramid was converted from a mastaba.
The great pyramids were not converted from a mastaba.
The great pyramids are very unlike Djosers pyramid.
You're confusing evolution with conversion.
Therefore the notion of pyramid by pyramid evolution is an unproven hypothesis and not a fact or proven theory.
How are you going to prove that hypothesis?
