Organisms at that level do not possess such a level of intelligence. The same goes for cells allegedly acting selfishly.

And the notion that cells "made an agreement" is a major breakdown in your metaphor. Have you ever taken a biology class? Material doesn't come together because atoms decide "hey, let's go for it!" The same goes for humans existing because cells had some sort of convention.
I'm not implying cells are intelligent. I'm implying humans are a collection of stupid cells, actually. These cells happen to conglomerate via mutation, the same mechanism every organism evolves with. The reason multicellular organisms are able to out compete single celled organisms is because of this mutation. Intelligence is a myth.
