What about our technology? Our culture? Those aren't nearly as likely to survive, and a few handful of our species survival is meaningless without the above two.

The fact that you seem to guarantee in your mind that humanity would survive is survivorship bias, I think? Or some other type of bias. Anyways. It's the same type of bias that religious people have in their minds, where they think the simple fact they happen to exist is just so improbable that there must be another factor at play to ensure their existence.
