I'm not sure how much overlap ther is between the people who want meritocracy and the people who agree with your definition of a just and equitable society. Luck and genes are generally considered fair arbiters in a sense, at least when they are the source of one's merit. No one complains the chess champion only won because she was fortunate to be given a chess board at an earlier age than the competition or something.
