It does not seem there is any escaping this blind idiot.

By luck, we got some things right. We don't have to get rid of them just because we got them by a random process.

So what is the value of a scheme who's appeal is the appearance of escaping the blind idiot if the appearance is false?

The value is in escaping the parts that harm us. Evolution made me enjoy chocolate, and evolution also made me grow old and die. I would love to have an eternal happy life. I don't see any good reason to get rid of the chocolate; although I would accept to trade it for something better.
