Physics does not know a difference between is and ought. Evolution is a process that can create order from negentropy. In a universe where information is conserved, entropy is the flip side of order, and will strangle all life.
Yes. And it does not follow that physics is intentional. In the same way, physics is not patriotic, rich, hungry, enthusiastic, horny or perplexed.

I guess it's back to semantics again. I say that the equations are what are intent. The equations make everything happen, generating all of reality. So that's where the intent comes from. It's an emergent property.

Please be more precise! The equations are specifications, but the universe must be an implementation. Emergence is a relationship between modeling frames, not a physical process. And if one frame emerges from another, its properties may be absent in the other.
