The elephant in the room is that whatever IQ is measuring, it is strongly correlated with all of the things people would generally agree correlates with intelligence. It is a strong predictor for what is generally considered success: financial, health, achievements, career. It is a strong predictor for how fast people learn things or become competent in roles generally associated with intelligence.
You can nitpick it, you can be right, but you are also preaching to the rocks and trees. The fact is people with low IQs are going to struggle more and people with high IQs do not need to struggle as much, in all areas of life. The exact number, or accuracy, or whether it is really intelligence does not change the reality.
