So where did I say it's haram or it's evil to marry to non syeds?

My sisters are married to non syeds. I'm married to Non syed.

Why did a divorce take place between Hazrat Zaid and Hazrat Zainab رضي الله عنهم اجمعين?

The Prophet SAWS adopted Zaid at the age of eight, he was called Zaid ibn Muhammad but when the verses were revealed, adoption of this kind was made unlawful and he went back to being called Zaid ibn Harithah, Allah instead recommended the Muslims to foster orphans:

The Prophet (pbuh) is also reported to have said: "I, and the one who looks after an orphan, will be like this in Paradise," showing his middle and index fingers and separating them. (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 7, Hadith No. 224)

However the Arabs of the time had the habit of adopting and naming the child after their own names and giving the child inheritance and basically treating him like a member of the family, thus marrying your son's wife was not allowed and considered a bad thing, Allah changed this practice completely, he says in the Quran:

"Name them after their fathers, that is more just with Allah. If you do not know their fathers, regard them as your brothers in the religion, or those under your sponsorship. There is no fault in you if you make mistakes, but only in what your hearts intended. Allah is Forgiving and the Most Merciful" (33:5)

As for Zaid and Zeinab:

1-They had a lot of family problems and Zaid used to come to the prophet SAWS to complain about Zeinab.

It is recorded in "Jami'i al-Bayan" by al-Tabari 11/22 and "Tafseer al-Quran al-'Azeem" by ibn Katheer 3/489 and in al-Bukhari #4787 that Allah already told the Prophet SAWS that Zaid was going to divorce his wife Zeinab, the couple had problems and they couldn't continue their life together. Zaid used to even come to the prophet SAWS to complain about his wife as narrated by Anas in the Sahih:

"Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife."

The Prophet's SAWS reaction would be: "O Zaid, be afraid of Allah and keep your wife."

2-Allah told the Prophet SAWS that he was going to grant him his adoptive son's Wife and he feared the People's reaction since back in those days this was considered a shameful act.

3-The Prophet SAWS kept telling Zaid to be patient and to keep his wife.

"And when you said to he whom Allah had favored and yourself have favored: 'Keep your wife and fear Allah' and you sought to hide in yourself what Allah was to reveal, fearing people; although Allah has a better right for you to fear Him." [33:37]

4-What Allah had willed had happened and the Prophet SAWS fulfilled Allah's orders when Zaid divorced his wife.

"And when Zayd had accomplished what he would of her (divorce), We gave her to you (Prophet Muhammad) in marriage, so that there is no fault in believers concerning (marriage to) the former spouse of their foster children if they divorced them. The decree of Allah must be done." [33:37]
