Hey! Look!
We are still trying to put together a goal for one cell animals.
And you want to move to the front of the line and butt ahead of everyone else?!
Go back and get in line and we will see you in a about a billion years. Take along something to read. Its going to be a long wait.
By then, if we are lucky, humans will be extinct and we won't have to bother putting a goal together. Hee! Hee! Just like the Trilobites!

It would appear that the goal of mankind is to destroy himself and this planet.
I believe the goal of mankind should be to leave this world, or His small part of it, a better place for His having been here.

The question assumes that mankind was created for a purpose, which is not obvious.
What is the purpose of a cockroach?
What is the purpose of the key that was in the drawer of the desk that you bought in a secondhand store? We know what the purpose WAS, which was to unlock some lock, but what is its purpose NOW, when it belongs to you, whom has no knowledge of the place of the lock?
Maybe you are like that key. Maybe I am, too.
Mankind may have a purpose, but an individual might have a different purpose or none at all. What is the purpose of a slot machine repairman in the larger scope of things?
But if there is a purpose, then it might well be to discover and/or invent a purpose, and perhaps accomplish it.

To ultimately learn and grow from our mistakes and thus be the spirit each of us were intended to be.
The Rosicrucian Order gives that re-incarnation is valid and true and that we all have successive lives to learn how to overcome our individual bestialities.
For example: An alcoholic in this life, may be born into a "dry" house in his/her next life, and have it taught the evils of over-use.
Giving the fundamental desire to be "dry"

To destroy everything that they found already made here on earth for all animals, just so they can satisfy their egos by trying to make it better- or so they think.

Well, thus far they have been able to send their sins out of the closet first, probably to see if God will strike them dead .and then what will they disrobe of?. hmm.
