Due to the fact that there are Zoras in PH, FSA, aLttP [which I know you and I both place post-WW] it would appear not all Zoras evolved.
Some evolved into Ritos, and some adapted to the Great Sea, and became hostile [OoT,MM, and TP are the only games where they are friendly]

Fourth, according to statements by Aonuma, WW takes place just over one hundred years after OoT. Even if the Zora could evolve into Rito, it would take far longer than that.

There are no plurals in Japan. It could have been 'one hundred' or 'hundreds'
And I believe Daphnes refers to Hyrule being sealed off hundreds of years ago...so we have two different translations there.

Fifth, even if the Zora did magically evolve into the Rito, why would the Zora be gone as well? While natural selection does involve death of another species to give way to a better one, the previous species only dies if their habitat ceases to exist or a better hunter kills all of them. Since the Zora are an intelligent race, and because their habitat is now most of the world, even if some Zora did evolve into Rito, some Zora would still remain.

See first point.
That's exactly what happened.

And finally, all the Zora have red eyes. Before WW, this was a trait known only to appear in the Shiekah. This is, of course, with the exception of Kafei, but he may be a Shiekah. Cannot say for sure, but then again, Termina is an alternate world and not exactly parallel to Hyrule in every respect it would seem, as the Shiekah are not in MM. Anyways, yeah, red eyes only appeared in Shiekah before WW.

Sheikah have red eyes, yes, but not all red-eyed people are Sheikah.
And the Sheikah are said to be near-gone in OoT, and it's implied that Impa is the last one.
So why would we suddenly have a bunch of them in Rito form?
