Sharpness within the Rebel line?

I've been reading things lately that seem to indicate that the camera has a lot to do with sharpness of the IQ.  Til now, I always figured this to be largely a lens "thing".  I currently shoot with a T2i.  If sharpness were a major concern (it is), is there another DR that might be better for me?  Would I need to step up to the next tier of Canon camera to notice this?  My DSLR gear is reduced somewhat since getting a EOS-M recently.  But I still have: 18-55 STM, 40 2.8 STM, and a 100-400 IS "L" lens.

Your thoughts?

By the way, and for what it's worth, I'm considering dumping the 18-55 STM DSLR lens; since I have the same "M" lens version for my EOS-M.  The "M" version seems to be sharper.
