Your understanding of mutations disagrees with Dr Fauci and WHO. Oddly, I was surprised to find statements by Dr Fauci and WHO which stated today that as long as this virus is mutating it is possible for it to become more bothersome, contagious, and vaccine-resistant, Life instinctively fights to survive and mutations over time can help it achieve that goal by making it stronger. The longer this pandemic is active the more dangerous it becomes, We need to turn it into an endemic which is significantly more manageable.
It's called Natural Selection.
The more deadly a virus is, the more easily it is contained.
This of it like this. The Earth is our host and humans are the "virus". Guess what happens to humans if we kill the Earth? Our population and our evolution dies off. We never have a chance to "spread" to other planets.
But if humans can take just enough off the host to survive without "killing" it, then in time humans could start to populate other hosts. That is natural selection at work. A virus doesn't benefit by killing it's host.
The goal of the virus is to survive and reproduce. Dead hosts do not benefit it, and those strains will die off. The mutations that allow it to reproduce easier and don't kill the hosts are the ones that become the "dominate" strains.
The end result is they generally get weaker and more contagious as time goes on.

The virus is on a suicide course merely by trying to survive in our body. It doesn't have the ability to have cognitive thought, so what is your point? The first life on this planet was single-cell animals that mutated for billions of years. Evolution is part of natural selection as well. If humans die out in several hundred million years some other mammal will be at the top of the food chain. We will be replaced as easily as the Dinos were. Evolution doesn't need humans merely because we are the most intelligent animal as we are also the most destructive,
Come to think of it, it isn't unreasonable to suggest we may destroy ourselves, but if we do not kill the earth life and evolution will go on,
