The point is that maybe we don't need a definition of intelligence, all we need is a vision of an endpoint and (the really interesting bit), the steps we'll take to get there.
In that case, the "vision of an endpoint" is exactly your working definition of intelligence, with its strength and limitation. In this context, a "definition" doesn't have to be like things we run into in textbooks and dictionaries. Other options are possible. No matter which path you take, you cannot escape from this choice and its consequences. That is why this debate is so annoying --- when you think you can stay away from it and just do your thing, you have already taken a side in it.
