The "information" in DNA is a post hoc anthropomorphism of mindless chemical compounds, viewed from our current position in the tree of life. We didn't get this way due to any sentient design -- we got this way because all of our ancestors, human and pre-human, had traits that allowed them to survive to breed.
We are fortunate enough to still be here, while 99.9% of species are now extinct. There is sufficient junk in our DNA to indicate trial-and-error over myriad generations, and sufficient flaws in the structure of the human body to indicate that the alleged "design" isn't particularly intelligent.
