You're saying you can't find intelligent programs this way because the search space is large. That's an anti-AGI argument, and it's fallacious because humans evolved.

Yes, you can only search an infinitesimal subset of the search space. The same is true for DNA. The argument is clearly invalid without at least reference to properties that gradient descent has, or that evolution has but it does not, which you have not done. It is wrong for the same reasons the watchmaker analogy is.
