considering if the meteor didn't hit 65 million years ago and large dinosaurs didn't go extinct would it be impossible for tool-using creatures like humans evolve?

would the lack of large predators be an essential environment for us to evolve? considering our ancestors didn't have to worry about giant or fast monsters like the T-Rex, Velociraptors etc, eating us.

also would alien planets have to have the same catastrophe to happen in order for them to have intelligent life at some point?

We might still evolve. But it prob would be very different

Without the chicxulub impact event, small marsupial creatures would never have had the chance to become dominant.
Then there wouldn't have been mammals like us.
Human intelligence is just a random happenstance. If countless variables had been slightly different we never would have existed.

We didn't evolve as tool users until the last million years or so, long long after that event. And we certainly had predators.
