You're just playing semantics now. Would you say cystic fibrosis is a disease? Or is it a clever adaptation that allows people to slowly drown in their own mucus that simply hasn't found an environment within which to be advantageous?
Intersex conditions arise predominantly through chromosomal abnormalities. They cant reproduce in the vast majority of cases. It's clear that our species strives to be either male or female, but mistakes happen.

those who are experts in that field certainly identify that it's not a binary outcome. Do you know more about genetics than them? Or are they wrong, too?

There are no intermediate gametes. They are either male or female. The fact that an intermediate outcome can only ever arise when something goes wrong speaks for itself.
