  1. Everyone always values themselves and people they know personally most of all. But it is not a universal rule that people you don't know have to be valued more than non-human animals. In fact many people value animals they care for like pets more than some people they don't know

  2.  @tuna5305  their corporations would better benefit millions if they were transformed into worker co-ops with all millions of workers owning them collectively. And the billionaires would stop extracting so much value created by their employees' work. The wages would be bigger. So no, billionaires and their existence actually are not themselves a benefit to anyone else

  3. The only way to not harm other living beings is never existing. But noone chooses to come into existence. But, we can choose whether to bring new people into existence. So you can minimise your bad impact on other species only if you are not reproducing, plus be a vegan

  4. There is no evolutionary point of view. Evolutionary theory only describes what is, it cannot determine what we "should" do

  5. (I don't want this species to exist for much longer. I don't like it. ) There is nothing intrinsic about "wanting to preserve species" since species is itself an artificial made-up category just like other taxonomic groups. Intrinsic desire is to preserve yourself and your loved ones, not "species"
