So how the heck have they survived? No species can evolve to the point of not needing to evolve even if the world undergoes drastic world-changing changes.

They may have been evolved-enough to withstand the Mesozoic, but they couldn't have been evolved enough to deal with the following mass extinction+huge climatic, faunatic and floral changes. Especially since evolution doesn't happen quickly, and those world changes did. Plus, you can't adapt to a problem that didn't exist yet. That's my problem.
