That's exactly my point! It's not about the new abilities, it's about the alien becoming more combat-centered! That's exactly why Azmuth hates so much the Evolutionary Feature! Because he wants to save the species, not turning them into war machines.

On top of that, it's pretty sure the Evolved Species could do what the original ones coudn't: defeat their predatory species! Necrofriggians weren't even capable of touching Psycholeopterrans, but Evolved Necrofriggians maybe can even kill it! That's why it's impossible to say they're "utterly useless". Evolved species almost never lost a battle in the series, and I truly believe the only thing that could easily defeat them is their Evolved Predatory Species (until now, only Evolved Panuncian appeared).
