Intelligence clearly improves "success at meeting the challenges of life"

Yes, and you have so far completely failed to show that intelligence (as standardly conceived) is something other than an adaptation.

You also have yet to document that intelligence as you wish to use it (beyond the standard sense) actually exists.  Assertion is not proof.

therefore "adaptation" is too ambiguous of a word to be useful.

I gave you a non-ambiguous operational definition, which you have failed to refute (and which did not start and stop with the portion that you picked on), and you have yet to provide the equivalent for any of your abused terms.

Your counterargument is truly pathetic - can't you do any better than that?  However, thanks for once again demonstrating that you don't understand operational definitions.
