Our nature is not purely utilitarian, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that utilitarianism is not in our nature. There are things we avoid doing regardless of how they advance our goals, but most of what we do is to accomplish goals. If you can’t understand that there are things you need to do to eat, then you won’t eat.

Strawman. Does any moral system anyone’s ever proposed say we should never attempt to accomplish goals?
