This makes perfect sense but in that case, why did we evolve to have intelligence?

There is literally no reason. It was just luck. Some animal was born with a more advanced brain by sheer chance, which gave it a higher level of intelligence, which in turn made it more likely for it to pass on its genes. This continued on and on and the smarter animals survived and the dumber ones died out.
