It did, it wasn’t just dinosaurs more than 95% of species disappeared, the impact itself wasn’t the worst part, the entire world was engulfed in a cloud of ash and dust for a long time so there was no sun for plants and without plants herbivores die and without herbivores predators die only a few lucky ones survived and reproduced and evolved into all the species we have now.
