Reproduction is, clearly, a subgoal of survival.  We have to reproduce to survive as a species.

Survival of the species is clearly a different goal than survival of the individual. Were you talking about survival of the species all along?

In our genetic programming survival of the species supercedes survival of the individual.

And I imagine that survival of "life" in general supercedes even that.
