I am not quite sure I understand your argument, but I'll give it a go.
You claim that the name Issa, the Islamic name for Yeshua, is mentioned in the Bible for the name Jesus. I say it is isn't. If anything it is a corruption of Yeshua's name, but it is not Yeshua's name, for the following reason:
Is it not true that before there were Arab Muslims there were Arab Christians? Obviously so. Therefore, how do Arab Christians say Yeshua's name? Here's how: يسوع المسيح (Yasou' Al Maseeh), which looks nothing like or sounds like Isa.
1. You quote Mark 1:2, "As it is written in Isaiah the prophet". You do realise that Isaiah was a Jewish prophet who lived 800 years before Yeshua? So Isaiah CANNOT be Yeshua. In any case, I really don't understand why you would think this has anything to do with my point that the Isa of Islam is the same as the Yeshua of the New Testament.
2. The Greek didn't have a letter capturing the sound a 'yod' makes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet. English can signify it by either the 'y' or 'j'. The Greeks had to make with what they had, and thus the name Yeshua in Greek sounds like this:

(Maybe you should read them, as I have, and understood that the EARLIEST Christians stated that Yeshua was crucified, rose from the dead and was God. There goes the facile Muslim claim that the Bible was altered.)
BTW, from your site, here's what Polycarp (AD 69-155), the bishop at the church in Smyrna, a disciple of Jesus' disciple John, stated in his Letter to the Philippians:
"Now may the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the eternal high priest himself, the Son of God Jesus Christ, build you up in faith and truth...and to us with you, and to all those under heaven who will yet believe in our Lord and God Jesus Christ and in his Father who raised him from the dead."
or what about Ignatius (AD 50-117), also a disciple of John: "There is only one physician, who is both flesh and spirit, born and unborn, God in man, true life in death, both from Mary and from God, first subject to suffering and then beyond it, Jesus Christ our Lord...For our God, Jesus the Christ, was conceived by Mary according to God's plan, both from the seed of David and of the Holy Spirit...Consequently all magic and every kind of spell were dissolved, the ignorance so characteristic of wickedness vanished, and the ancient kingdom was abolished when God appeared in human form to bring the newness of eternal life."
