The point is that the moment there is a genetic basis for a trait, there is no reason to believe selecting for it wouldn’t work. You are the one trying to dodge, trying to state there is a value judgment when there is none.
That is an argument to absurdity. It is fairly simple - if you can totally divorce selection from breeding, then detail how you can breed a dog without ever making a judgement about which traits you value

You need to select a trait. But which one, as long as it’s heritable, is IRRELEVANT to acknowledging that breeding work.

And yes it’s an argument to absurdity because your argument is absurd. If we accept it, then we can say the same thing of anything.
