What you call the intuition of identical copy immortality is a self-interested intuition: we have a stronger interest in that someone numerically identical to us survives than in the survival of a mere perfect copy of us. But utilitarianism is not a theory of self-interest: it is a moral theory. Accordingly, I don't see any conflict here. Your preference for A over B is explained simply by the fact that you are self-interested; if you were a purely impartial utilitarian, you would be strictly indifferent between A and B.
