Well you knew because it was as obvious as the nose on your face.
Genesis is the foundation of the Bible, so we agree. We know that God is the Creator of every vibrating atom. We know that humans exist because God Willed them into existence. We know that every human is born with inherent flaws that they must deal with across the span of their lives. So in essence we agree with far more of the big stuff than we disagree with. We are quibbling over the details, not the greater truth.
As for evolution and science. Nothing, absolutely nothing in science was invented by man. Every discovery of science is a gift from God, because our ability to unlock the secrets of nature, which is in effect, Creation, is gifted to us. So I do not reject Genesis, on the contrary, I read it with the eyes of a person educated in science and living in 2022. The Bible is printed because of science, written language is the product of science, the internet is science, the church you may go to was built by science, the food you eat, the doctor you visit, the clothes you wear, electricity, running water, every second of your life is effected by the gift from God of science, so how can you then reject the very same science when it tells us without question, that Genesis 1 is a beautiful symbolic teaching with great and powerful consequences and not a literal story. In fact you lose so much when you see Genesis as literal. You're right, however one interprets Genesis 1 then sends them down one of two paths. One path is superstion and dogma and the other is in harmony with science and reason and seeing as science is one of the greatest gifts from God, it is a sure bet that religion that is in conflict with science is not religion, it's a false human construct.
Science reveals the attributes of nature, that which can be explored by the senses. The Bible teaches us that we do not then understand the essence of nature, that which has been Caused and Created by God. Every atom has been Caused and Created by God, so everything is already a miracle, we are in no further need for events like Special Creation, Great chastising floods, etc.
When you take Genesis 1 as literal you spiral down a slippery slope of being in contradiction with science and the natural laws of nature which were put in place by God and are likely to be an aspect of Creation itself. You enter a religious landscape of superstition and dogma. God was not just the Creator for 6 days, He is the eternal Creator. There is never a moment when Creation ceases, otherwise and eternal, unchanging God can one day be the Creator and the next He is not Creating and thus is a changeable being.
God Created everything, Caused everything and science tells us with no ambiguity that He did so via natural order. There is not a thimble full of evidence for Special Creation, the Great Flood, etc and yet there are millions upon millions of tons of fossil, atomic, fission evidence for evolution, a timeline of life on earth, the antiquity of humans. Not one tiny part of which is an accident. Every change, increase in complexity, stage of development, was preordained by God. Every outcome was known to God. God is not in any way diminished if He chose to use natural order as His means to Create and we are then so very fortunate that He enabled us to see the staggering beauty and complexity of His Creation, its many parts and how His All-knowing, All-powerful Essence could form everything that exists from a single substance.
And remember that God is a timeless being, so a billion years is not a timeframe to God. 13.8 billion year old universe is an instant universe to a timeless being. Only we experience time.
As for errors of previous interpretations, there are somewhere between 35,000 and 75,000 Christian denominations, every one of those sect, denominations, churches, has their own interpretations, to some degree. I suggest to you that is a wondrous place for fertile minds and egos.
