Evolution is not a ladder.
Subjectively speaking one may question why haven't all life forms evolved into larger creatures like Blue Whales except they forget there is no objectively true "goal" or ultimate species in mind or higher life form here.
What you get with evolution is competition for resources, bearing in mind natural selection is a key factor here; those that evolve with the beneficiary attributes that help them adapt best in their environment can survive and thrive and maybe even become successful organisms; those that can't cope or develop obstructive features that hinder them inevitably decline or go extinct altogether.
EDIT: Oops sorry, TheDarkestOfAngels I didn't read your post there, you've pretty much said all there needs to be said. :c
