Respawn and aggro them and run as fast as you can to lead them away. Rinse and repeat until they are away from your base. You might have to respawn elsewhere and run to your base if you cant make it outside of your base, eventually after a couple of deaths you should have led them far enough away to respawn at your base. Alternatively if your playing sp and dont mind cheating, you can use the command DestroyWildDinos to kill all wild dinos

Then move away until you learn basic tools to deal with them, as fresh character you arent supposed to fistfight an adult raptor. These dont appear often in safer areas of the map.

Yes, all it does is kill all wild dinos on the map, everything will respawn.

Raptors should only be able to destroy thatch tier buildings, so you were in a very early game stage, I know it sucks but really you didnt lose much to them. Move on and rebuild elsewhere, when possible build your outer walls with stone, only a few dinos (such as alphas) can damage stone buildings

The hide would have been useful but in the future you will look back and laugh at thinking 200 is a lot...some ascendant blueprints can cost 10k+ hide to craft. As for the tek stuff from the rex, the only useful thing from it would be electronics, which your still 50ish levels away from even being able to use

Some suggestions;
When possible build outer foundations/walls out of stone

Tame up a trike for early game defense, even a low level trike can stun lock most dinos, meaning you keep attacking at the right time to push them back so they cant even get a hit in. (Would not recommend against Allosaurus)

Unlock bolas ASAP, they are one of the most useful and best early game items, you can lock a lot of small creatures into place for a long time, use them to help tame some creatures (doesnt work against Trikes fyi) and can mean the difference between life and death.

Dont be afraid to adjust gathering rates, the game is meant to be played with a tribe of multiple people, you do not have to stick to vanilla 1x gathering rates, plus you can always adjust them at a later date

Be advised that creatures can still damage wood, but wood takes less damage and has more hp.

Anywhere marked safe is relatively safe, as safe as a survival game gets. If you are playing on the island map, the small island in the south east is commonly refered to as herbivore island. Nothing agressive spawns there and has all of the basic resources. You'll need a raft to get to it or a lot of luck swimming since it's surrounded by megalodons.

how do i tame trikes?

Short version;
Get tranq arrows and setup some gates, aggro the trike in to the gates and quickly close the open gate, then tranq it asleep and force it to be your friend.

Long version;
I highly suggest watching a youtube series or beginners guide on the game. I would suggest Phlinger Phoo S5E1 ark series, alot of his videos are geared towards beginners and teaching you the basics. Atleast in the beginning episodes.
