The prosecutor believes he filed correct charges and that he can convict you of a felony, otherwise he wouldn't have filed. Your opinion, or mine, to the contrary is only that, an opinion. You obviously need a good experienced attorney to defend you in these charges. If he can show the charges shouldn't apply to you, or that you have valid defenses to the charges, then you will get a good outcome. If this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
