Why, is there some unspoken requirement that you be an intelligently created thing in order to feel good or bad? If you found out tomorrow that you were not an intelligently created thing..do you think that you'd suddenly stop feeling either emotion?
From another angle, if this ability is written in at birth, it certainly seems that the focus (and strength) of this ability is not. Is that indicative of poor or unintelligent design?
-and from the most relevant angle.....that was an awfully quick leap to "goddidit" from morality. From the standpoint of objective moral values god is an irrelevance. Supposing god did create us, he created us such that we were capable of recognizing and assessing moral facts of a matter...which we would be capable of doing if we were "built this way" regardless of who or what built us this way.
