It doesn't. SR "comes from" a combination of the work of Lorentz, Poincaré, and Einstein around the turn of the last century (a few others contributed in lesser amounts). The MMX is NOT AT ALL the only experimental support for SR -- see this link to learn how outrageously wrong that notion is:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html

As I wrote elsewhere I'll examine later experiments later.

Certainly not at that time

Doesn't matter. The theory came from postulates .. it explained experiments that had been made .. it made predictions that were later support experimentally. That is why it has gain acceptance as a theory (though always open to the possiblity of being refuted)

and I will examine them in order. Right now MMX
was incorrect.

No

Lorentz + MMX was not correct

No

and in 1905 Einstein
incorrectly determined from them SR,

No

and used Lorentz math to justify it..

No

Do you deny this?

Yes .. gee that was easy.
