No, you most likely have no bad copy. Don't send it to Fuji yet before you give it another try.

Try to do focus manually using the loupe or simply use the AF on a subject which is about 5 to 10 meters away. To crank the lens to infinity doesn't work. Many lenses focus behind infinity. There is no way to get such a crappy image quality without a serious user error.
