All I'm saying is that we have not subverted our basal animal nature.

I agree.
You answered this.

We are the most intelligent species on the planet. Undoubtedly. I'm not even disputing the fact that we're the most creative.

Now all I'm saying, is that due to this creativity and intelligence, we are separate from animals. We are animals physically, but mentally we are much more than that.
I don't get your point in saying that animals who are physically built to create set things are superior. Given your spider web example, I think it's marvelous how humans have the ability to utilize and to mimic - making us the masters of our world. That's why I view humans as gods. Does not the traditional god rule and create? One would be a fool to think I meant anything more.
I have never seen a cat play an adapted violin and understand music theory.
