Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be. 
Interesting that in the long run animals got smaller but in the short run humans are getting taller. Natural selection ~ worketh in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform.
Imagine Kentucky Fried millipede, all them drumsticks! Man!
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

no, in the long run animals are not getting smaller. In fact if anything the average size of animals are getting bigger.
There are two things you need to consider: 1. Spectacularly large animals were always the extreme outliers in size. The typical and the average size of animals were always much smaller. Humans might be small compare to some dinosaurs or elephants, but for anytime in the whole animal kingdom, or just land dwelling vertebrates, humans would count as a quite a large animal, larger than >99% of all animals whether by species or by numbers. The average size of the land dwelling vertebrate might be the size of a small dog or cat. It was probably never larger than that in entire history. 2. The different spectacularly large animals mostly didn't live at the same time. They lived millions to hundreds of millions years apart. So looking at a list of spectacularly large animal gives a completely wrong impression of how many large animals were in the echo system at once.

An interesting prospect, if true. Call it "supersize me." I would have guessed an average vertebrate size of around a small trout, depending on whether one counts by species or by individual organism. We're almost all fish fry as a tribe; landlubbers an exotic rarity much less the Baluchatherium. But I like your point about deep time. Those big critters never saw hair (scale?) of one another and were a long, long time apart. When our civilization gets flattened, its remains will doubtless occupy only a few millimeters in a compactified sedimentary pile. 
Why don't we have cool stuff anymore dammit?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
