The amount of material in the genome is not indicitive of the complexity of the organism. A human has an average of 2,900mil base pairs of DNA. A frog, 6,900mil bp. A fruit fly, 180mil. An amoeba, 620,000mil bp.
So I'm not really following the argument that less information in the genome and 'advancement' have anything in common.
