I agree completely... except one thing:
If "good" is smart and "bad" is stupid, why do you claim morality to be a mistake?
Don't you get it? You've just discovered the basis for an absolute morality system, which is independent of any personal bias. Wisdom is good. Stupidity is bad. Morality and logic are unified here into a single framework.
