That is just one of hundreds of reasons for rejecting the irrational notion of evolution.

And by "irrational", you mean "contrary to your literalist reading of the Book of Genesis, chapter 1."

I have. They boil down to two arguments.
1) The conditions he used might be too artificial to reflect conditions of the early earth. Some of those criticisms are reasonable, like the specific mixture he used. Some are just nitpicking, or rely on incredulity. For example, criticizing it for requiring the heating of water to high temperature and then cooling it is a bit strange, when those are exactly the conditions that exist in waters around underwater volcanic vents.

2) The proteinoids he created are different from modern proteins in a few ways. You assert that because of these differences, what he created cannot be called "simple proteins." However, yet again, you have no objective basis for your assertion. The amino acid polymers are "too different" so you use the mighty power of your personal incredulity to declare that they're absolutely not simple proteins.

Nope, there are huge differences. Your "few ways" is very misleading!
