Could it be CMBR isthe making of spacetime and not Big Bang?
Could it be that CMBR is not the making of of Big Bang, rather an evidence of existence of spacetime?
There are only two phenomena in the universe that occupy completely all of outer space: re-spacetime and universal gravitational field. Thus, could it be POSSIBLE that the detected CMBR be evidence of spacetime and not Big Bang?

No.
Spacetime and the universal gravitational field are the same thing, and that is the whole point of general relativity.
The CMBR is very clearly a remnant of the condensation of matter, the so-called recombination event, about 379,000 years after the big bang. It is very strong evidence for the big bang, as was predicted theoretically by theorists including Dicke and Peebles before it was observed by Penzias and Wilson.
Spacetime is the entire universe, and all of time. That is the thrust of general relativity. The existence of spacetime has absolutely nothing to do with the big bang. The big bang is basically a space-like slice of spacetime.
You might try reading the book The Road to Reality, A Complete Gude to the Laws of the Unverse by Roger Penrose. Penrose is one of the best relativists ever and does a nice job of explaining the nature of spacetime in that book.
