Couple of things. First, the Corpse's power is to "remove", not "exchange". Even Love Train shows this to some degree, as it "takes away" misfortune from Valentine. Love Train is also very much not the corpse's Stand, though Ticket to Ride might be. Love Train is a collaborative power between D4C and Ticket to Ride.

As for why the Corpse seemed to transfer the disease rather than cure it, The Rock Disease has been called a "curse" at least once (and that sure as hell makes more sense than a disease that affects every first born child of a family). So it's possible that, once it was removed, it merely hopped to the next victim (George), rather than behaving like an actual disease.

Second, the DNA is too similar for there to have been three people involved. The match between Josuke and Kira was already exceedingly close, above the 90th percentile.That only makes sense if Kira and Josefumi were closely related, or if Kira contributed more DNA than Josefumi. It's honestly close enough that I wonder if they aren't secretly siblings. At the very least, I'm pretty sure they're cousins.

Third, Josuke has shown no power even remotely close to what the full Corpse could do. His power seems to mostly just be Josefumi's Soft & Wet, with a bit of Kira's Killer Queen: Bubble Edition mixed in.

I could probably find more counter-points, but I think this suffices.
