There is simply no logical way that could be true. However important it may be to us
Evolution can not see emotion or consciousness, Evolution can only see actions, so
either emotion and consciousness are a byproduct of intelligence or emotion and
consciousness do not exist. Perhaps you will insist that emotion and consciousness will
join the very long list of things that you say do not exist (bits electrons information
logic etc) but I am of the opinion that consciousness and emotion do in fact exist.
Of course evolution can't 'see' intelligence either. As you say selection can only be
based on action. But action takes emotion, in the general sense of desiring one thing
(food, sex,...) and disliking another (pain, being eaten,...). So I'd say emotion, knowing
what you value, is as important as intelligence, knowing how to get it.
