1) Your argument is that our species think because it is necessary for reproduction. That just isn't true. Even the r type (or a k type) don't need logic. Sex is physically driven. There is no abstraction necessary for any species to have sex. 

 

The flaw in this argument is that you are analyzing this purely from a man's perspective.  Sex is physically driven for men, but not quite so much for women.  Prior to contraceptives, women (and their fathers) went to great lengths to choose a mate who did two things - 1) financially provided for the woman and her family, and 2) provided upward mobility for her and her parents progeny. The woman and the woman's family choose with whom she will mate, and this process is driven far more by logic than by sexual desires.

To some degree, this is still the case today.  However, with Government stepping in and inserting itself as the roll of the woman's parents and supposed spouse, things have gotten a bit FUBARed.

2) There is no evidence that we think for reproductive fitness.

At the risk of being redundant, wrong.  Men may not use logic when they stuff their dick in a warm wet ******.  But the women, the one who will have to carry the child to term and raise it; the one who has witnessed other women go through the pain and danger of labor, are all about using logic and thought in the reproductive process.
