People did not return to their original form, they turned into their "ideal" form, ie the form they viewed themselves as or the form they were most comfortable with (with the ability to swap between forms at will if they chose). They did this not because the world was destroyed, but because the ground world had merged with the Heavenly Yard, where such a thing was possible. Ex, Feng was never in a human body in life, but Hale comments on him spending time in the destroyed world as a human because that is how he saw himself.

We also don't know for certain that her form as Irina was the form that MotC chose before fusing with Evil's Theater, only that after her death she, like everyone else, regained all her memories of her past lives (which would include being Irina), so she was Irina while simultaneously being MotC and Maria.

You also have the order of events a little off--Eve's soul wasn't forcefully removed from Ma in the blast, it was released when Nemesis killed her. And Adam and Eve's fusion with the Irregulars wasn't during the destruction but something unrelated that happened after it. Lemy and Ney turned into Arte and Pollo while serving Conchita, and they remained in these forms for much of their time under her command.
