One of Boeings' strengths is that they provide what the customer asks for. If the customers were asking for a direct 757 replacement, and were willing to pay for it, Boeing would build it.

Getting back to what will replace the 757. When the neo's and Max's come out, both aircraft will have better range than now. The 757 will have been almost completely replaced.

It is not quite that simple. Early 321's were very power limited. Over time they came up with higher thrust versions. Many airlines (mine included) only pay for what they need. I.E. if they don't...
