Well, it may be my English (as you know it is not my first language) ... but I don't see what you see here

I used those words in quotes, and my intention of doing so was to emphasise the very inaccuracy or inappropriateness of their use.

So let me rephrase:
There is no intent in survival of DNA - this is just a statistical outcome from random process.. which LOOKS or may look like intention (or this word is intentionally used by some people).
