I posit that humankind is becoming less intelligent with the education of today, not more.

Agreed.

If you consider that a biological definition of intelligence must include the proliferation of one's genetic material (e.g., reproduction), the Western world has become decidedly less intelligent over the past century.

Absolutely!! Not long ago I saw a test for grade school class from about 100 years ago. I can’t remember any of the questions, I just remember being astonished at what they were teaching those kids at that time.
