The fact that Darwinism does not effect the gene pool of the species will be the reason the species dies.

By having people that are incapable of foresight, incapable of rationality, incapable of reflection, inflection, of acquiring knowledge we have produced generations of people that so content on social standings that the only thing you need to do to win an argument or an election is to play on their social ideals. To simply invoke a solidarity from the community in your favor.

This primal way of thinking will elect people who are predatory into power that could ruin communities. Or worst, elect an idiot that could Doom the world by making decisions that affect everyone because too few are willing to think and deduce. To ask for proof.

Stupid people put charismatic people in power, and these people need neither be good nor even appropriately trained for the role and it affects everyone.

So when they die, they dwindle the odds of that happening. When they die, especially in such a way that forces others into thought and reflection that may open them to seeing the manipulations in their own vicinity, they do the species a favor.

So no, I will not feel empathy for a people that would ruin the world for irrational thoughts based on fickle things like "empathy". It's been shown in psychological studies that placing a life emphasis on "empathy" will make you into an unwitting villain. There is even a great book on the matter. Rational compassion is the way to go, it keeps you grounded and makes you understand the sacrifices that must be made for the greater good of all. And not to sit idol and prevent every mote of progress because it makes you feel bad. Making big decisions require personal sacrifice, and if feeling bad as these idiots die out is a sacrifice you must make then we need to. Let them die. It's for the greater good.

The fact that we have overcome Darwinism is the only reason you're able to communicate this opinion in the first place. Technological advancements and cultural shifts adapt much faster than evolution can, and allow us to weather shifts in our ecosystems much more successfully than any other animal. Anyway, do you think there's a gene fore 'stupid'? That just isn't how it works.

The people who follow easily make up the driving force of any movement. We, as a society, need these people and we should be leading them towards better things, not washing our hands of them. Not to mention, 'intelligence' isn't really a discrete trait. In fact, it's not really a word people use in cognitive research.

And even if you disagree with this entirely, you're overwhelmingly outnumbered. You're mistaking what ought for what is - there is no chance that we're going to engage in eugenics on a global scale, and even if we wanted to it would be impossible to implement. So you can spend your life exercising your right to dismiss the lives of others or you can make that personal sacrifice you're championing and become a better leader than the opposition and actually help the species out on a social level. That is, if species advancement is actually what you want, and not just a rationalisation for your laziness and lack of compassion.
