Okay, we came from monkeys. Cool. But why do we still have monkeys and no middle man?
Let's see. Dogs come from wolves, right? So why are there still wolves? Answer that (it's not very hard), and you'll have your answer.
Oh, and no "middle men" because they all competed for the same resources, and the best men won. Monkeys don't compete for our resources, so they continued.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue

The simplest answer is: we didn't "come from monkeys." However, somewhere in the distant past, all of the existing primates did presumably have a common ancestor. We don't know exactly what or when that was--and we may never know as there were apparently very few of them, whatever they were, and archeological evidence is very sparse and hard to come by. DNA evidence does suggest that, with respect to modern species, humans are most closely related to a species represented today by Ronald Reagan's co-star Bosco. (Apparently the common name is not deemed acceptable to use on this web site.) That doesn't mean that we are descended from them, only that the two species apparently had a common ancestor in the distant past--most certainly millions of years ago.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

No one has ever said that evolution worked that way except those trying to disprove it. According to the theory men and apes developed from the same, now extinct, species.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Go back far enough, and you will find an ancestor of ours that would be zoologically classified as an old world monkey species (downward facing nostrils and non-prehensile tail) were it extant today, so it's perfectly appropriate to assert that we evolved from monkeys, although not from any species of monkey extant.
