One can reason out why a taste for sweets and a dislike for bitter things would lead ancestral humans to eat good things and avoid bad ones. But rhythm, musical tones - there's no such reason underlying them.

Some reasonable arguments for music actually causing a survival benefit have been asserted. Even if they are bogus, there could be some survival benefit that we haven't thought of yet. Even if there isn't traits can evolve with no survival benefit. Add that up and I can't see how the appreciation of music is evidence for intelligent design.
