is there some superintelligent solution that's supposed to be more advanced that consoling you in your moment of grief?

Yes.

Do you mean to suggest that a superintelligent agent wouldn't be able to foresee or provide solutions to some problem that we are capable of dreaming up today?

No.

Do you expect an agent optimized to humanity's CEV is going to use inoptimal strategies for some reason?

No.

Will it give a helping interstellar spaceship when really all it needed to do to effectively solve whatever spaceflight-unrelated microproblem in our psychology that exists at the moment before it's solved the problem was a simple pat on the back?

No.
