Darwin answered the question of why we care.
No, Darwin explained what actually happens. There is no should there; we invent those ourselves. Unless you meant that the consequences of evolution give us a better reason to care; but that would in itself be a personal judgement.
I care, too, but there's no law of nature stating that all other humans must also care.

Ah. Point taken; though of course he didn't literally do so for humans, evolution definitely has a lot to do with it.
