Irish people still exist so why do primates not still exist?
Primates do still exist, humans are primates along with gorillas, chimps, bonobos, lemurs, baboons etc.

If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!

So the primates that bred humans are still around. Is that correct?
No, the species that are ancestral to humans have died out. That wasn't the question you asked though. You asked:
...why do primates not still exist?
