Any anyway, how do you explain going from single-celled creatures to working organisms with a trillion cells? Darwin claims species are driven by their environment to better compete - is that not something like perfecting them?

No. Perfection implies a scale with a top end.

We compete for spaces in a niche, we don't compete to be all round "better".

Ok, but Pinnacle describes a local maximum, which seems to describe us perfectly.
