Our ability to reason comes from evolution, but the knowledge we obtain from reason is not encoded into the genes.

No, that comes from the application of the reason to things outside it.

Nothing else. But without understanding that Pythagorus theorem is only a thing cos it's true, you're missing out a big part of the puzzle.

Our evolved brains have given us the ability to explore a logical structure, but that logical structure is not the result of evolution.

Because logic has certain rules that work and it has to be that way or it wouldn't be logic.
