I would say that these things are not an argument for OR against intelligent design.
If you're against intelligent design: it is what it is. If you're for intelligent design: it still is what it is, except you get to ponder the motivations.
Pondering the motivations of God would seem to be pointless. If God put something someplace that's where it always needed to be. To go any farther than that would require knowing God's "ultimate plan", and that "plan" would be on a scale of complexity far beyond anything a human could ever understand, I'd reckon.
Humanity won't survive to see the sun swallow the earth. We'll either all be dead, or evolved into something else by then. Remember, we're talking billions of years here. By the time the sun expands to a point where the oceans boil off or the earth is swallowed by the sun an exodus would have happened long before. We'll have no use for the cradle that was Earth at that point.
