I think your pt 2 is redundant. Besides why is biological evolution a moral to aim for or replicate? Also, even if the gene-pool is isolated, there are no "pure" lineages, cf. genetic drift
Every instantiation of elitism that I've seen in education (in particular in the French and US education systems) seemed to hinder the realization of human potential. Excessive selection and exclusion are harmful -- even to those who make it through.

In my experience the main factor to help human flourishing has been diversity. And the main factor affecting diversity has been the community around the school, not how the school itself worked.

Diversity of what exactly? Eye colour? Length of hair? Skin tone? Body height? Weight? Presence or lack of a moustache?

Could you elaborate on how it is harmful to those who make it through?

It simply gives you too many biases in what you learn, giving you an incentive to learn what will help you achieve better grades (and beat others) and not what is most useful to you...

Yup! I went to a state school for undergrad and that’s *why* I know math so well.
