Why didn’t the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth also lead to the extinction of all other living species?

Big rock hit.
Big rock go *BOOM*!!!
Big boom kill. A lot. Not so much food anymore.
Big things need big food. But big rock kill big food.
Only little food left. So only little things live.
And the big things…all die. Make big meal for little things.
TLDR: Asteroid didn’t kill everything, only lowered the total amount of food available. Anything that couldn’t live on the new lower total died. Everything else survived, more or less.
