I don't think there's much argument to be had about humans being the most intelligent creatures on the planet. Fully grown humans are completely self-aware, able to improve at incredible speeds, create language, architecture, buildings, technology, etc... there's no animal that comes close to human intelligence.

Human nature is what makes the species by and large use this intelligence immorally, something quite seperate from intelligence. I think there's a valid argument to be made that could suggest greater intelligence leads to a decline in morality.

But then, we only know what morality is because of our intelligence, so...
