The "determinist thesis" is much deeper than you may be giving it credit for. Believe it or not, Mark Twain wrote a nice (and very easy) read, that is a decent platform for this "thesis" (What Is Man).
The superficiality of the tasks that you attribute humanity's freedom to, are probably given so much stock because we are so wrapped up in the ego-centered ideals of self-worth. While I too, seek the fulfillment of my own ego, I hardly think it is of enough worth to reform the "determinist thesis"
