In other words, our "actual values" come from our being philosophers, not our being consequentialists.
It seems plausible to me, and I'm not sure that "many" others do disagree with you.
That would imply a great diversity of value systems, because philosophical intuitions differ much more from person to person than primitive desires. Some of these value systems (maybe including yours) would be simple, some wouldn't. For example, my "philosophical" values seem to give large weight to my "primitive" values.
