There's nothing they need from Boeing. Dragon and Falcon are both proven platforms already. Boeing doesn't have much to offer that SpaceX doesn't already have a solution for.

They may have some good engineers still?

Those engineers are free to leave and go work for SpaceX instead. You don't buy a failing business division to get a few people and trash everything else.
