Again though, in Lovecraft canon (If you're counting all his stories as truly taking place in the same universe, even though that's not really how he intended it), mankind doesn't get wiped out for a very long time and we don't technically know what does it.
In "The Shadow Out of Time," the main character meets humans from many future time periods. Sure, it's revealed that humanity will one day go extinct and a species of beetles will inherit the Earth. But that would be like a dinosaur in the Triassic Period despairing about the meteor that wipes most of the dinosaurs out in the Cretaceous, 180 million years later.
Nothing is going to last forever. Hell, with the exception of Azathoth, even the gods will die eventually. But it's about holding on for as long as you can.
