I'm denying that your "greatness" even matters.

Why wouldn't it matter? The propagation of the human race is augmented by the success of the groups they are a part of. Civilization has been a tool used to secure the next generation of humanity. I don't really get how greatness wouldn't matter, as it would help determine the success of civilization.
