Ive been thinking this alot. Is there any real problem with Salafis? Can we prove from Quran and Hadith that they are wrong and they have wrong aqeedahs?

All ive come across is they shouldn't demolish the holy sites (which is not wrong), they shouldn't do this they should do that. But there's no solid concrete daleel which we can use.

walaikum assalam

Laypeople like us cannot really give you an answer, and I am sure that you must be already aware of this. On the contrary, when you (with your ilm) say this, it (subconsciously) creates a legitimacy of salafism in our minds, because if are having doubts, then what about us?

The topic of salafism is very subtle, which is why a lot of scholars also have fallen into it, and themselves become Salafi by abondoning the madhabs. But does that legitimise it? No, but for the layperson, it has great consequences. Because when we see the scholars do something, we (subconsciously) think that it must be legitimate to a certain degree.

It would probably be most appropriate if you could discuss this with those scholars who have spend majority of their lives studying salafism and can give you the answer. Because subtle matters don't just require answers, but they also require insight. And Allah knows best.
