I agree but don't put it like that, because while we did adapt to get where we are now, we are not the best species at surviving everything. Cockroaches survived what killed the dinosaurs, humans wouldn't survive something like that. There are far more species of life better at reproduction and survival than humans. Our biggest problem as a species is our own ignorance of our place on the planet and and in the universe.
Cockroaches have found a successful survival model
which significantly surpasses the tenure of human life on Earth, yes.
However, they've never risked adaptation beyond that successful survival model
...hence, they are still just cockroaches.
Better to attempt to evolve continually, and risk annihilation,
than to remain a cockroach for eternity, just to be on the safe side.
I mean, what's the point of surviving forever,
if you're just going to be a cockroach for eternity???
Survival at the cost of Evolution is worthless, IMO.
