I just want to reiterate what Rob said. We make no moral judgments on suicide, obviously. A person's life is their own, generally, and a person who is not depressed/irrational may make the informed choice to end their own life. However, as he said, be cautious that decisions made of that sort are not made in the heat (or the cold, rather) of a chemical imbalance in your brain that is giving you abnormal emotional feedback.
Additionally, suicide does not just impact our own life, but can be devastating to those who love us. A depressed person is also, unfortunately, more likely to underestimate the feelings of others on their behalf. In that sense, our lives are not entirely our own to dispense with as we please. So do consider how such a decision will affect others around you.
I would strongly advise you speak with a professional about it before you even begin to seriously consider suicide as an option.
Also, as has been pointed out to you, evolution (nor any other science) has never said or implied what you suggested at the beginning of your post. I am a biologist, and many of us here are experts in the subject, if a better understanding is important to you.
I hope you feel better, and I hope we can help you in that regard.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
