It seems you are describing a posthuman and its decendents, not a transhuman.
>I would put transhuman at 'so heavily modified or designed from scratch
you can't associate it with the point of departure, as basic human bauplan
for the last few 100 kYrs'.<

happened to run into it.<
Posthuman, upload and further out entities.
