They are "inordinate and improbable" only to you amigo (and even then only when you consider the present scenario to be a "goal" of some sort, assigning probabilities to any particular without reference to all other potentialities). There are no "happy accidents" except by our insistence that they are such. Anthropic bias.
"Everything had to follow this path by happy accident so that we are lucky enough to be alive, oh wondrous day. The universe seems to fit me so perfectly". That has more to do with our own sense of importance, luck, and tendency to place ourselves as the primary object of any comparison than evolution (or any of it's various mechanisms).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
