Anatomically Correct Godzilla

There have been countless online articles that go into painstaking detail about the implausibility of Godzilla existing in real life. But, let's just assume that a creature like Godzilla naturally evolved (rather than being a amphibious dinosaur mutated by an H-bomb or a prehistoric marine reptile that was heavily mutated due to feeding off radioactive materials dumped in the ocean) in order to:

• Attain a massive size of several hundred feet (and the ability to support its massive bulk without being crushed underneath it)

• Develop an upright stance similar to that of a Kangaroo or tail-dragging Tyrannosaurus Rex

• Have adaptations that allow for an amphibious lifestyle (staying underwater for long periods of time without going up to breathe)

• Be impervious to conventional weaponry and have the ability to quickly recover from fatal injuries

And last, but not least...

• Fire a powerful beam of atomic energy from its mouth, which has the destructive force of an atomic bomb

What would the evolution of a such creature look like?
