So good for humans, avoid doing harm to your own species. It's easier said than done.

And by harm I mean violence.

This is a good point. 

When we say "good," I suspect we're always saying "good for something or someone." 

Good for humans might well be bad for bacteria. Although I think lately we're finding out that things are a bit more interwoven than we thought. Bad for bee colonies turns out to be bad for humans, too.

That's obvious. 

This would prevent the acorn from reaching its full potential.
Perhaps the acorn has more than one 'final purpose'...like potentially rooting and growing into a tree that will produce more acorns as well as to be a food source for squirrels.  

There isn't just one purpose for many things in nature.
