Rare could've been Nintendo's Naughty Dog and Bungie

Yes, it could, but what else could have they done?

The Stamper brothers decided they had enough and sold their shares of Rare (51%) to MSoft, so Nintendo's only other option was to sell the other 49% they had. I mean, no one can really expect a first party to share a studio with another first party.

The problem is that Nintendo didn't try hard enough to find or create a comparable studio after that.

Pretty sure they offered it to Nintendo first ad they didn't take it.

Well, too bad. But that also happened after Conker, that didn't sell as well as they wanted and created some problems between Nintendo and Rare.
