Am I incorrect in believing that scientists have not created any
organic materials by "primordial" means more complex than amino acids?

That depends on what you mean by "more complex." Bear in mind that
some amino acids are more complex than others. Also detected in the
Harold Urey experiments are nucleic acids, organic acids, alcohols,
amines, amides...

Urey was asked "what do you expect to find?" He replied "Beilstein."
