Most of what you said I agree to. If i felt certain that AI will in fact replace these biological systems by something even a little bit better then I would agree. But we are not even fully sure if it will happen during our lifetime(i hope so). Also it is very likely that road to this will be very bumpy.

Hard to predict what is going to happen but it is possible that society will become very unstable. And before you get your hands on that new piece of tech that will let you hack you brain and lymbic system there are many things that can prevent you from getting it. New feudalism, riots, anti tech movements, AI wars, global warming etc.

Bettering yourself right now using hard work and other classical evolutionary tools will vastly improve you chances of getting out of those societal changes alive and with most possibilities you can. People who worked theirs asses off and accumulated some assets have far bigger chances to survive what is coming than someone that just waits for it to happen.

Also it is unnerving that our whole existence happened by chance and very long and brutal processes like natural selection but it doesn't necessarily diminish what these processes accomplish.

Chosing some process and calling "it is just [insert any explanation]" is very irresponsible because in the end we are just moving atoms and smaller particles.

Good for you i am glad you are happy. But you are missing out on life. I will leave you with quote that sums it up really good in my opinion: "when he finally achieved it, he was overwhelmed. Not only by the magnitude of his achievement, but by the joy that it brought him". If you put your time and hard work to something then you have a chance to experience something far far more satisfying that joy that you get from such simple things like walks with dog or hanging out with friends. Which of course also are pleasant. But nothing compares.
