Evolutionary pressure is determined by the propagation of genes, not the survival of the organism. Anyway, your reasoning is not sound.

  But the organism needs to survive at least long enough to be able to propagate its genes into the next generation.

    You said > Survival is literally the only thing that means anything at all. Which is not true. And even so, evolution does not determine meaning.
