In your major example there is no chromatic passing tone from EM7 to DM7. CM7 contains E as its third and there is therefor no note to use to pass.
EG#BD# CEGB DF#AC#... Excuse me but G#-G-F# was chromatic movement last time I checked. That even occurs with the simple major triads without the maj7 extensions.

I think I'll play the guitar instead .............

This thread is why so many people are put off by the mention of music theory.
Afraid if they learn it, they may turn into one of these people that has a seven paragraph answer for questions like "what is this chord?" Very little time to practice after that.

It might be me but when reading theory posts by Ricardo and Kevin, I always come away with the feeling one is trying to help people understand vs the other showing people what he's know.
