If you want to see how values are attributed subjectively, you need look no further than other animals. Most people consider any animal to be "worth less" than a human life. Some animals are considered to be of almost no value, or even negative value. Is this in any way objective? No. Inherent value is a nonsensical concept, in my opinion. What value something has entirely depends on what the purpose is, and who is judging it. Us valuing ourselves over other animals comes down to tribalism in the end.
According to most religious texts, God doesn't much care about animals either. But I don't care what he thinks.
