Taking into account the natural balance as I mentioned, perishment/extinction of species has been said to usually be a slow and gradual happening. We are accelerating the extinction of many species that have developed after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Let's say: a meteoroid never had reached Earth. Theoretically, there would have been a wider range of species. The extinction of 1 or 2 species wouldn't matter much, but nowadays life has a lot more value. If we humans continue to destroy most animals, there won't be enough left over for nature to develop new species in the future (which is an extremely long process). And we all need animals for our short- and long-term development.
After the extinction of most dinosaurs, mammals had the chance to develop like never before. But what if mammals (excluding humans) would disappear? Then perhaps insects would have the chance to develop like never before. And I for one, don't want that to happen.
