Hexagons are really not better than triangles.

I kinda do agree with out on fractal geometry though, (although you're gonna see a lot of tiny triangle shapes). And also for certain applications, things like catenary curves are ideal.

I don't think 90 degree surfaces are going anywhere though. Having angled walls would be less space efficient, and angled floors would be a safety hazard. And cubes/rectangles are by far the easiest, most compatible shapes to efficiently design with. Although in your hypothetical future I guess we can just use the biocomputer superintelligence to design everything.
