You position assumes that what is important, is *individuals*.
We can (obviously) see, that evolution does not care about individuals, .. the larger universe does not "care" about anything.
Individualism (as a point-of-view) is prevalent in today's culture. That has not always been the case.
It's actually not "depressing", necessarily.
The lesson is, "show them you love them while you have the chance".
The implication that one can make up a comforting reality to live in, is, of course, false.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
