Humanity isn't going to die out anyway just because people with such an attitude decide to have no children, so I think you shouldn't worry about that.
It isn't, but Idiocracy while arguably not as bad as humanity dying out is still pretty bad.
If we devolve to the extent of no longer being able to cope with anything more complicated than chasing animals with sharp sticks, that would amount to humanity dying out.
It has been suggested that Homo floresiensis devolved from a bigger brained hominid -- the ultimate in idiocracy.
With 7 billion people on the planet, there are plenty of people smarter than you having children, so no worries.
I don't think idiocracy follows from people who think that life kind of sucks not having children. There seem to be plenty of intelligent people who don't think so.
