So you're saying, if I may summarise.
Social Darwinists who think Darwinism can be played out entirely within social
circles have it wrong - survival and prosperity of the socially powerful.
Neo-Darwinists who recognise the value of interactions across the
bio-social-intellectual levels are OK.
Human life happens to be the (current) zenith of value spanning those three
levels, and long may we keep it that way.

Sounds good. I cringe a bit at the term "zenith of value", because many would
use it to further glorify man's superiority to the world around him. I'd only
"endorse" it in a non-S/O "part of the world" metaphysics. :-)
