Does the capacity of bacteria to acquire antibiotic resistance prove Macro*Evolution?

Nope. A bacterium typically obtains antibiotic resistance from another bacterium (often through exchange of segments of DNA). The bacterium is a bacterium before the DNA exchange; and the bacterium is a bacterium after the DNA exchange. So, “acquisition of antibiotic resistance” is an example of micro*evolution in action, not macro*evolution in action.
