I think that you are missing the point, whether
yom means 24 hours is wholly irrelevant to the message of Genesis 1-2. The sequence is thematic (and polemical) not chronological. Oh, and I agree
yom does mean 24 hours or at least thereabouts.
Could I point you to Bruce K. Waltke's
Genesis: A Commentary.
