Humanity is likely to decide continue having kids regardless of what I feel about it, and since I care about humans, I feel the obligation to protect those kids and their descendants. And similarly for other species.

This seems to directly contradict your previous statement? It's not clear to me now what you're even trying to argue.

I wish people would stop smoking. But since they likely won't, I feel the obligation to fund lung cancer research, to help the future cancer patients.

I wish people would stop having children. But since they likely won't, I feel the obligation to keep the environment reasonably clean, to help the future humans.

yes i care about the quality of life for current and future humans but do not care about the perpetuation of humanity as a concept

if humanity came to a slow end, probably aided by robots in its twilight, that would be fine
