Okay while X gene wasn't directly stated, my bad, mutant abilities were.
Where was it stated that they can ONLY adapt to mutant abilities.?

I don't recall him doing so granted I just saw it tonight and a lot is happening quickly. To me its like for the most part they were just slowing them down without really stopping them.
Storm also destroyed many of them.

Are you sure ? I thought she was just damaging the containers that carried them. We see them scaling the mountains afterwards.

The movie never shows Storm directly destroying sentinels. She was just slowing them down.

Actually she did, she made their ships crash into each other and destroyed many of them by blowing up the blackwing.

There were several sentinels that were destroyed by people like storm, Magneto,and bishop. All are which weaker than supes and no sentinel has adapted to supermans level of power.
When ?

She never used her powers to DIRECTLY destroy a Sentinel

Where was it stated that the could adapt to other powers that weren't mutant abilities? Because they didn't do a really good job of adapting to an explosion or tanking their own lasers and weapons. Also Bishop taking some of them down in his explosion and Colossus knocking two of them back doesn't speak volumes of their non-mutant adapting skills.

The only instance in which a Sentinel was destroyed was when storm blew up the ship. Other than that, all mutant attacks did was slow down the sentinels.
Like when Storm destroyed the Sentinel carriers, we later saw the fallen sentinels climbing up the mountain. They weren't destroyed

A sentinel from X-Men DoFP vs. MoS Supes
Fight is in metropolis
Technically, supes could be considered a mutant by the sentinels right? Because supes has a different DNA from conventional humans
This isn't even a close fight, he snaps their necks off one by one.

When bishop exploded he killed 3 of them.

Yah, there's a really good possibility supes would destroy it before it gets the chance to adapt. Theoretically though, the Sentinel should be able to adapt to Supes.
Doubtful. It seems that they adapt based on the X-gene (as evidenced by the fact that they sense the X-gene and not just any random mutation).

You are biased and it's rather obvious. It is based off genetics and superman has powers based on this. Adapt and destroy. It must eat you alive a sentinel destroys Superman.

Where was it stated that Superman was a mutant or had the X gene?

They track down and adapt to "mutant abilities": this was stated in the movie. If you can find evidence to the Sentinels adapting to things not mutant based, that'd be dandy.
The Sentinels don't have great durability showings outside of their adapting.

Due to the focus of their efforts to be mutants but at the core of it is genetic based so the same would apply to Superman.
You'd need to prove they can't adapt since that is your theory.

Trask outright puts Mutant tracking systems into his Sentinel prototypes and Xavier explains how the new Sentinels lock on and adapt to any mutant ability they encounter.
I already did. Warpath was able to injured them, Blink demonstrated that the Sentinels aren't immune or rather can't adapt to themselves, and apparently they don't tank explosions too well. Also there's Storm indirectly destroying the ships carrying Sentinels with wind which, last time I check, mountain storms weren't mutant powers.

I get that but when you break it down it is on a genetic level so one can call Superman a mutant. Semantics.
Again you were wrong there with destroyed sentinels and failed to comprehend the fighting scenes.
