Humanity continuing to exist isn't inherently good.

If humanity continuing to exist isn't good, then is it better for chickens to exist? Pigs? Is the problem of "continuing to exist" limited only to humanity? What about non-human life?

Ultimately our own evolution states that we arrived at our current place in life from creatures we would not consider 'humans' at one point in time. How is it the fault of modern day humans that this happened?

If that society's only goal was to create the minimal amount of suffering, antinatalism would still be the logical end of that goal

How is this true? That's like saying the goal of creation is to stop creating. 'Goal' can't be the right word here. If you have a goal, that implies you view that goal its actions to be worth experiencing - to have value in the fact that they have been experienced or will be experienced.

There has to be some value in experience. Which means there has to be some value in human life. If being born means suffering, maybe that's due to the condition which cause suffering and not due to simply being born.
