This is not about values, it is about realism. I am protesting this presumption that the cosmos is just a dumb desert waiting for transhumanity to come and make it bloom in our image. If a line of argument tells you that you are a 1-in-10^80 special snowflake from the dawn of time, you should conclude that there is something wrong with the argument, not wallow in the ecstatic dread of your implied cosmic responsibility. It would be far more reasonable to conclude that there is some presently unknown property of the universe which either renders such expansion physically impossible, or which actively suppresses it when it begins to occur.
