On top of what you've written, the worst part of Darwinian "progress" is that evolution was never postulated to be progressive by Darwin. The notion of evolution being progressive overall has caused numerous issues, stemming from inaccurate biological perspectives to extensions into, as you mentioned, the art world and other aspects of society. In current society, I don't think the term evolve or evolution is improper to apply to art however, as they do not truly embody progressive change, but simply change in itself.
