Something's evolutionary usefulness is not a measure of it's morality. You'd still have to define what it is about those religions that produce "morality", based off of a definition of morality.
The present is not bound by the past. Just because something was useful in the past doesn't prove that it will be useful in the future. Evolution has left us with many vestiges, like goose bumps, that no longer serve their original purpose. (although this is not to say that God doesn't have a purpose for such things.)
