It's like saying that "3*2 + 1 does not equal 7" because 3, nor 2 nor 1 alone equal 7.
Of course a set of interacting elements is very complex, but that does not mean that it comes from nowhere.
There's also the question of: "how much?"
Where do you put the boundary? At which scale do you think those emergent properties you talk about appear? And how do you limit that scale? The only thing limiting fundamental interactions between all particles in the universe is the speed of light. In greater or lesser magnitudes, every entity in the universe interacts with the rest of entities. The only constraint is the speed of light.
So where does your emergent black magic appear? When 2 atoms are at a distance of 1 metre? When 10 atoms are at 1 millimetre from each other? 100 protons? 3 billion electrons at 1 nanometer?
If the answer is: "it appears gradually" then I ask: gradually in comparison to what? There's no such thing as an objective scale. Unless you can somehow justify it with non-scalar constants, you are just talking statistics and subjective measurements.
