I've read this proof:
Everything's clear except at the end where they said that if $\alpha$ is transcendental, then $I$ is the zero ideal.
How is that obvious?

Recall that $\alpha$ is transcendental if there is no polynomial in $K[x]$ having $\alpha$ as a root. The kernel of $ev_\alpha$ by definition is then $\{0\}$ hence $I=(0)$.
