Also, plenty of biological evolution can happen in the absence of mutation.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Evolution is simply the changing of allele frequencies over time, which can certainly happen in the absence of mutation. Although, I don't know that I would say "plenty" of evolution can happen without mutations, but I guess that depends on what you think "plenty" is.

Only changing allele frequencies is proven to result in a stable state. You need mutation for evolution.

Changing of allele frequencies can occur by creation of new alleles (ie. mutations), but it doesn't have to. The definition encompasses both possibilities.
