Considering evolution has no true end-point, it's doubtful.

You don't actually need a long-term end point to have a pinnacle right now. If you've got a forest full of trees that will grow forever, the tallest one currently represents the highest point of tree growth in that forest. Another tree may someday outpace it, and there will come a time when its current height is considered below average for the forest, but right now, that tree is the pinnacle of tree height.

Pinnacle or peak has nothing to do with end point

False

The true endpoint of evolution is to evolve into a crab

Impossible to say.

Even our assessment of cognizance is based on the limits of our own mind.

We're kind of shit, so almost certainly not.

There's the added problem that, no matter what most people tend to believe, "evolution" is not a constant upward curve of improvement, but an adaptation to current conditions. So evolution can arguably make things "worse" from our personal perspective.

From what I remember of EVO, the endpoint of evolution is a sort of rhino-fish with rabbit DNA.

Figuring out a peak without a complete arc is complete. At best (like others have mentioned) you can determine the peak so far, but -- just using civilizations as an example -- most great civilizations "peaked" a few times before reaching their true highest peak and declining.

And, of course, the discussion precludes the possibility of life on other worlds, which is a complete unknown (given that we don't even know whether any exists)

Agreed. The hive/colony mind wins.
