English term or phrase: in the struggle for existence to have evolved
Hello,
There's a paragraph containing 3 expressions which sound unclear to me. I'll be discussing the expressions in 3 separate questions.
--------
Here's the context:
As psychologist warner argues, many of our exceptional human traits, such
as our ornate language skills, our religious fervor, our humor and moral virtue,
are too ornate, too metabolically expensive, and too useless in the struggle for
existence to have evolved merely so we could survive another day. They must
have emerged, at least in part, to help us court and win the mating game.

در تنازع ما برای بقا، صرفاً برای این تکامل یافته باشند که یک روز دیگر جان به در ببریم
Explanation:
I think it makes better sense when it is simplified this way:

Many of our exceptional human traits are too useless [in the struggle for existence] to have evolved merely so we could survive another day.

Yes, I think it is OK. Another word can be:

‫بسیاری از خصوصیات استثنایی انسان‌ها آن‌قدر سودمند نیستند که صرفاً برای جان به در بردن ما در تنازع‌مان برای بقا تکامل یافته باشند.

Notes to answerer
Asker: So, given your take on the subject, do you think is it okay to put it this way? در تنازع ما برای بقا، بسیاری از خصوصیات انسانیِ استثنایی ما آنقدر سودمند نیستند که صرفا برای این تکامل یافته باشند که یک روز دیگر جان به در ببریم.

Asker: I appreciate your time and effort.
