They did. Let's see you fully wipe out an area like that when you're surrounded by lush, unfamiliar rainforest that's constantly trying to kill you. Almost 90% of them got killed, but for the same reason that there's very few pureblood native Americans, Latinos got created.

The Catholics opened their hearts to the natives and foolishly believed they could be converted. Such a missed opportunity to secure the western hemisphere.
They constantly declared war on the English. Jamestown was a peaceful settlement that never made any attempt to eradicate anyone. Natives got pissed off and made war with the colonists every time. America purposefully genocided them, but again it never would have happened in the first place if they were ever peaceful. America would be a mestizo country too if the natives did not persist in war with the colonists.
The Spanish did the same thing, except they were able to secure alliances because of a larger common enemy (the aztecs). Again, in places where the aztecs (or other batshit insane major powers) did not exist it was much the same. Which is why south America south of northern Brazil is mostly white.
/They killed a lot of them. Shame it was not all.
2. The 21.5% of the Mexican population classified as indigenous counts both those full and partially identifying as indigenous.
3. That's entirely unrelated, even if this were true it is not like demographics cannot recover.
4. Race mixing, race mixing, race mixing.
