Insofar as evolution can be said to have goals, continuation of the individual is definitely not one of them.

That lack of design is precisely what makes me skeptical of the idea that the pursuit of self-continuation can be generalized that far. When I look at people's goals, I see a lot of second- or third-degree correlates of self-continuation, but outside the immediate threat of death they don't seem to be psychologically linked to continued life in any deep or particularly consistent way. Compared to frameworks like status signaling or reproductive fitness, in fact, self-preservation strikes me as a conspicuously weak base for generalized human goal structure. All of which is more or less what I'd expect. We are adaptation-executors, not fitness-maximizers. Even if self-continuation was a proper terminal value, it wouldn't be very likely that whatever component of our minds handles goal structure would actually implement that in terms of expected life years (if it did, we wouldn't be having this conversation); in the face of perfect immortality we're more likely to be left with many disconnected sub-values pointing towards survival-correlates which very likely could still be pursued. Contemporary people still happily pursue goals which were rendered thoroughly suboptimal upon leaving the EEA, after all; why should this be different? And on top of all that, I suspect the entire question's largely irrelevant; since individual self-preservation is only loosely coupled to genetic, memetic, or societal fitness, I'd be very surprised if it turned out to be a coherent top-level goal in many people. The selection pressures all point in other directions.
