Species may come and go, alleles may come and go, but since neurons first showed up they have gotten a lot better, a lot better organized, to the point where mammal brains are pretty happening. Eyes, wings, tooth and claw all seem to be “winners” from evolution. We may evolve things to extinction, but evolution on the whole appears to be a winner at constructing marvelous things that persist across alleles, species and individuals.
The problem is that evolution is perfectly capable of evolving things to extinction.

Yes, but it’s under no obligation to give those things to us.
