Nah, the Metroids weren't really intended to be a viable species either. They were bioweapons intended to kill one thing and that was it.
And the fact they lost control of the Metroids shows that the project didn't really succeed either.
It's presumably easier to create life if you don't have any long-term plans for said life beyond pointing it towards a target and going "KILL".

Thoha Chozo: "CURSE YOU NATURE"

True but they still created healthy functional organisms, even if they didn't mean for them to metamorphos and reproduce. Making chozo clones that live long enough to have kids of their own would be pretty simple.
If we're really getting into the nitty-gritty of space opera superscience, there's a huge difference between the biology of "flying jellyfish that can metamorphose into a clawed monster" and "birdman." Maybe the Chozo found invertebrates easier to work with.
The biology of one's own species tends to be readily understood under the guise of "medicine". 
Funny but not helpful
If the Chozo understood medicine they wouldn’t have forgotten to sex so long
Where were the Chozo gynecologists?

Sidenote, I enjoy that main line series Chozo follow "adjective somethingbirdrelated" while prime series chozo have alien names with "'" in them x'D
Also, before I forget, I found this. It is Samus' family tree and "who killed which family member" chart

Raven Beak is quite an eaglemaniac, isn't he?

Never thought I'd one day find myself reading the Navy Seal Copypasta in ADAM's voice.
I’m pretty sure if the Chozo wanted to procreate they would have. Even to do something as mundane as grow baby Chozos in pods if they were that disinterested in sex Unless of course Samus has bird dads and only bird dads for a reason.
I like how we are so focused on a bunch of birdmen needing to fuck.
Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.

It’d be a weird preoccupation but it is a major turning point in their highly advanced civilization stupiding themselves into extinction

Technically we don't even know for certain that they reproduced sexually. They're aliens.

What if Raven Beak actually did have a hand in Samus's education (joke image, sauce inside)

Reminds me of that joke from Good Omens the book with the Fake Antichrist Warlock and his two contrary teachers

Gonna be honest I fucking love all the memes about Raven Beak being a ripped, sexy bird daddy.
When we all know in truth he's a sexy bird grandpa.
Oh, bother.
On a more serious note, one wonders if Raven Beak actually staying behind to raise Samus might have changed him for the better.

Or make Samus worse.
We would have to learn if he was always a power hungry maniac or if he was nobler before Dread to make further judgement.

I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.
I'd imagine a species as advanced as the chozo would be able make viable clones easily. They made a species of energy draining super-predators from scratch, long-lived clones would be child's play by comparison.
