I'm thinking out loud here, but what if it's akin to a copy mechanism, or compression expander algorithm like unzipping a file?
The Sperm carries the requisite DNA to activate the egg, which then just executes the body's Replicate() method. The sperm being required is so people don't spontaneously get pregnant.
The DNA coding for proteins is just to build the replicate() method, which then starts copying attributes from the host's (read: mother's) body. Much like how there are differences in compression/expansion algorithms (zip, tar, gz, etc..), the sperm that initiates the replication/unpacking adds non-neutral variance, hence the genetic traits of both parents present in the child.
Put a different way, why reinvent the wheel if I could just grab the memoized visual processing from the parent? Then, if a trait isn't present on the host, say, mid-digital hair, I (as the replication algorithm), "wouldn't know what I wouldn't know" which could perhaps be seeing as synonymous with "evolution."
