Sexual desire is (more or less) universal in sexually reproducing species
Uploads are not sexually reproducing. This is only one of many many ways in which an upload is more different from you, than you are different from a dinosaur.
Whether regular evolution would drift away from our values ir more dubious. If we lived in caves for all that time, then probably not. But if we stayed at current levels of technology, even without making progress, I think a lot could change. The pressures of living in a civilization are not the same as the pressures of living in a cave.
Are you troubled by instrumental values shifts, even if the terminal values stay the same?
No, I’m talking about terminal values. By the way, I understood what you meant by “terminal” and “instrumental” here, you didn’t need to write those 4 paragraphs of explanation.
