A society with cultural, social, economic, intellectual, biological, etc. equality is essentially prone to failure as they can not evolve, and will become susceptible to cultural and social stagnation, amirite?

I might just be misunderstanding, but I've never heard of a culture striving for such things like intellectual or economic equality.. I know that many strive to create equal //opportunities// for these things, but it would be virtually impossible to have a population that was all in one economic class or all had a specific level of intelligence.

There has been no society to my knowledge that has yet to do such things. What sparked this post was Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron". I highly recommend you read it. It's pretty much society where everyone is as equal as equal can be.
