I guess when we measure animal intelligence we're really measuring how close it is to our own.

I wouldn't consider that to be a bad thing as long as we're aware of what exactly we're measuring.

similar to our search for extraterrestrial life? Based on how life evolved here on Earth. Doesn't mean that's the only way.

True, but this is done because otherwise we are search too broadly, infinite possibilities with limited resources

also because carbon is the most likely element for life to be based on, BUT STILL.
