Hi I always have problems with the mesh in Rhino
I used the same method in another program, it works fine, but I’m curious, why not fall into Rhino.

Hm - probably because the mesh being cut is disjoint.
That nay not be it either - we had a similar (though not disjoint) failure come in last week, that the developer is looking into, it might be the same problem. I’ll get this on the pile, thanks.

Mesh split did work here but not with a mesh but with a extrusion (polysrf should work too).
Repair cutting mesh of your file (will remove 4 zero-length edges)
Subselect top border of the cutting mesh
Copy in place, sellast, join curves to a closed polyline
Extrude
Move the extrusion down to the disjoint mesh and run splitmesh
As the resulting mesh is still connected run SplitDisjointMesh
Select by boundary the inner meshes (important: Filter must allow only selecting curves and meshes)
4 or 5 of the split meshes were not recognized correctly, maybee because of features like this in your cutting mesh:
