We do not have such advanced genetic technology at our disposal at this present date and time. We could, practically, collect massive amounts of egg and sperm samples from various ethnic groups and locals throughout the world and keep them in a sort of huge databank to do kinda what you suggest though we would still be extremely limited in what we could do with them? we do not have ?artificial wombs? yet, and as such we are limited directly to the amount of females left on the planet/bunker/wherever they are hiding out in. Also since artificial insemination only has around a 7-29% success rate a lot of those genetic samples are going to go to waste.
Humanity is fucked at the moment. We have done essentially no preparing for a cataclysmic event, celestial or otherwise. If it were to happen soon our species would go the way of the hard working straight white male -- extinct.
