Most of the races in Tamriel are too jacked up to have an explanation like evolution behind them, so unfortunately questions like this are pointless. Suggesting there is a reason evolutionarily implies they evolved to gain an advantage from it but that just isn't the case.
There is no way Khajiit can be "cousins to the housecat" and have evolved side by side with men and mer to be the bipedal humanoids all the player races are. Argonians are a bastardization of mammals and reptiles (#AgonianMasterRace) and most of the other races make no sense at all but their "holes" are in other places. (No, hole does not mean orifice here).
Iirc all of the races share a common ancestor (though not sufficent time to allow evolution but that's beside the point) unique to them compared to all other organisms in Tamriel. Considering Bretons are a half-breed mix of two less-distant man and mer ancestor (which can produce fertile offspring) means that at least both of them were of the same species. One could assert that there is a sub-species separation between man and mer and if we consider it to still be true then all the player races could in fact interbreed. I don't know much about that but from what I can tell--having the mother's race and father's traits, what I think is the deal with this interbreeding--it is just a fancification of someone who suspended their knowledge of how babies are made.
If they do interbreed, then the vastly different traits may eventually come together into a single "race" as the geographical separations become less significant, but if they don't the races will eventually separate into different species incapable of interbreeding, at which point evolution may actually begin to take hold. I think we can assume the altmer will be the first to reach that threshold, if they ever do.
Why do female argonian have boobs?
I mean don't argonians lay eggs? Is there a lore reason for this? Do they have a functionality?
I don't mind tough. Just curious.
Why do Khajit only have 2.
I am attempting a fool's errand in trying to explain the reason why Argnonians are the way they are and I acknowledge this.Most of the races in Tamriel are too jacked up to have an explanation like evolution behind them, so unfortunately questions like this are pointless. Suggesting there is a reason evolutionarily implies they evolved to gain an advantage from it but that just isn't the case.

They dont have boobs, no seriously -you seeing things thats are not there
No they dont really lay egs - they are ovoviviparous
Yes there is a lore reason for this, there is "lore reasons" for everythingMost of the races in Tamriel are too jacked up to have an explanation like evolution behind them, so unfortunately questions like this are pointless.

in a way you are right (in a IRL world logic&evolution way)
Yet you are so wrong its not even funny.
Yes all races are related and share common ancestor, let me show you two graph -first is very simple and easy to understand, second not so much
Khajits are elves blessed by Azurabtw there are species of khajits that are 100% cat like like alfiq - cat size&form khajit and senche -tiger form khajit.orsimer (orcs) are elves cursed by Boethia
There is also a species of khajits that look like "anime catgrils" or elves/bosmers with tails -Ohmes
dunmer are superior elven race - Chimers cursed and turned into lesser race of Dark Elves
Argonians -are VERY complicated race, first of all they are not even lizards or reptiles - they in fact have more common with newts and even TREES.
Argonians (or Saxhleel) for example have gils ! and are able to change gender.
Argonian as a race are completly dominated by Hist trees - and Hist are in fact a "lovecfratian space horror gods" just like Cthulhu.
tl;dr
Why argonian women have breast?
Cos Hist want them to fit right in into the houses(and beds) of mer/men so they spy/steal&kill for their true masters -hist.

As for interbreeding... I kind of with they would go ahead and say that they can. There's support for it in the lore.
"Evolution" isn't the same in the world of The Elder Scrolls as it is in ours. The Argonians are not of the same lineage. They are effectively mutant lizards created by the hist. Kind of TES version of Ninja Turtles... They are Wizard Lizards. heheh.
The Hist gives Argonians sentience. It gives them their "soul" without it they are just beasts. They are feral.
Khajiit do have a common ancestor with all Men and Mer, the Ehlnofey. Men and Mer CAN interbreed. This extends to Orcs (since they are Mer) and I would like to think it extends to Khajiit also. I could also imagine a situation that in order for a Khajiit and a Man or Mer to successfully produce an offspring they have to be conceived at a VERY specific time. What, with Khajiit being tied to the Lunar Lattice and all that.
Argonians are a bit trickier since they aren't descendants of Ehlnofey. Then again, there is the Hist. Who knows what kind of physiological wonders the Hist brings upon the Argonians? It is possible that the Hist sort of "activates" their genes in a way that allows them to interbreed. Weirder things have happened in The Elder Scrolls.
I have a thread that discusses interbreeding concepts for ESO here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/153977/eso-character-offspring-hybrid-races-concept/p1
