Where does the concept that atheists have the intellectual highground in comparison to religious people come from? Why are they seen as more intelligent when a significant amount of atheists just follow their pop-science idols who preach of atheism without even bothering with religion/ spiritualism/ mysticism on another level than just physical empirical science? Did I miss the definite proof of an abscence of some kind of god?

If anything, it's the opposite. Instumentality doesn't represent progress or evolution but a return to a womb-like primeval state without boundaries, motherly parallels included. Remember that while the FAR and the Seeds are more powerful than humans, it's the latter that derive from the former still. If anything is obsolete in by the End of Evangelion it's that kind of superbeing, not humanity as we know it; Yui/Eva-01 even ends up as an eternal testament of humanity's existence.

Now Getter Robo, that might be a better fit for what you want.
