Were wheat or corn the staple crops back then? Were there even humans to go extinct? Because those are the issues, not sea level. If our staple crops cannot survive the rise in temperature, our future doesn't look so grand.
This is why simply knowing a fact is not the same as having an understanding of the problem. Unfortunately for you, while you can google facts and tables, you cannot google comprehension. Understanding the problem is about synthesizing the information into a likely sequence of events, drawing from a wide range of knowledge. Higher global temperatures have many, many ramifications, and it's obvious you're not considering many of them.
