Archeopteryx is an excellent example of a transitional fossil. It resembles both, reptiles and birds.

It is surley not wrong. It might be incomplete. That's the point.
And again, Archeopteryx is not a good example because it has already fully developed wings. The missing link would be a creature in between legs and wings. And such a fossil we have never found up to now. Archeopteryx shows us, that reptils and birds are related to each other but Archeopteryx is already quite on the "bird" site.
