The diversity died out roughly at 2007/2008. There are genres that flat out disappeared or transformed into derivative works. Maybe there is an odd OVA or movie for some 30 year old franchise, but those anime are nothing but walking corpses.
Sure if you people believe these are all going strong still, and we have lots of non-Japan and non-high school settings, then be my guest. But when I ask for some good'ol' scifi and get recommended things like Deadman Wonderland and Togainu Chi, sorry if I don't feel convinced.

This is no longer about the quality of anime series throughout the decades. It's about personal taste, and yours is still stuck in the 70s and 80s.
Considering how outside factors contribute to the "decline" that which you speak of (economic crises, changes in marketing trends, piracy, the Internet, changes in the fanbase itself), there's nothing we can do about it but to appreciate what anime series we have right now.
Anime does change, but it doesn't mean that we should not.
