I agree that Transhumanism isn't evil per say. It can be used for evil though, like a lot of stuff.
There's also lot more ways forward than you imply. Technological progression internal and external. Biological progression, internal and external. As well as status quo and regression, although those aren't viable long-term.

I covered all of those possibilities. Technological progression without advancing humans is either AI abandoning humanity (ceasing to exist) or transhumanism. Biological progression is, I suppose, more than just eugenics, but the ethical "concerns" are much the same. The status quo or regression are the same as annihilation. Without additional tech we cannot leave Earth. Not leaving Earth will inevitably result in Human extinction, by some method, over some timescale.
The major issue is that there is no way to stop technological advancement. Thus the side that has more Luddites loses. They cease to be relevant and those that embrace transhumanism or eugenics survive. I would prefer that the people like me survive.
