Honestly, I do not think high-intelligence is useful for life. The most successful life forms aren’t the most intelligent, and humans seem to be fixed to self-annihilate.
what do you consider the most successful life forms to be? humans currently inhabit every continent and are unquestionably at the top of the food chain.
Are we though? Bacteria do better than us. Cockroaches. Rats. Ants. Grasses. Plankton. We aren’t the most numerous. We aren’t the most widespread. We are serious risk of killing off our own species.
If the Earth was about to be hit by a huge asteroid, some people might survive (by fleeing in spaceships) but none of the species you list have a chance unless people choose to save them.
