No, it's not useful, it's exactly this kind of sloppy language that has so many people so confused about evolution to begin with. I'm not upset, so you mind your own feelings and don't worry about mine.

Worse yet, it also hints at predestination. All in all, I'd say it's much more troublesome than "meant to".
