Yes it does compute
1) That fact that it is natural doesn’t mean it is a good thing. As said in the video recognizing evolution does not mean accepting Nazism

2) Yes eventually extinct species will get replaced by new ones and eventually nature will adjust itself to climate change. The thing is it takes a couple hundred thousand years and I for one do not live for such a time span nor do my children or grandchildren. What is important in my view is that we do not ask what is good for the earth or for nature because the earth doesn’t care I am interested in humans and yes I think preserving nature is in human interest.

to your 1) , of course not

to your 2) weighing what is favored when balancing human and natural interests is sometimes a dilemma, is it not? Not always easy to choose. A rare bird vs a power plant which will generate electricity to hospitals etc.
