Darwinism assumes the goal of survival does it not?

Survival is not a goal, it is a result.
It is true that those who survive are those represented in the next generation, but that was a side effect of the first life, not a goal of it.

I suppose you could call it a goal on some level, but it was not a chosen goal. It just turned out to be a necessary requirement. There are plenty of other traits that make survival more likely, but to call them a goal implies forethought in their emergence.
