Kabutops's Primal Stare Poke-Body states:

As long as Kabutops is your Active Pokemon, your opponent can't play any Basic Pokemon or Evolution cards from his or her hand to evolve his or her Active Pokemon.

Why is the "Basic Pokemon" there? Is it preventing things like the Baby Evolution Poke-Power, or is it just to prevent evolution of the Neo series Baby Pokemon?
 
The rules question you are asking:

1. Does Primal Stare stop the Poke-Power Baby Evolution?
Yes. You can't play Basic Pokemon or Evolution cards from your hand to evolve an Active Pokemon, if your opponent has Kabutops as his or her Active Pokemon.

2. As far as "why is X there?" - I think it's answered by the rules answer above. It stops evolution even through Baby Evolution.
