The importance of humans seems only to be important to humans

Because humans think things and they can think that something is important. Corn (to use the example I was arguing about) does not.

which probably means we aren't, in any objective sense, important.

That doesn't logically follow. This doesn't mean that you have to be wrong. It merely that one thing doesn't lead to or support the argument for the other. Your conclusion, true or false, is not supported by your premise.
