I guess that's the sticking point for me.
When two people fall in love [real love, not Hollywood-love] their bond vastly overshadows any
thought to possible 'ticks' or 'undesirable traits' of one another that could show up in their children.
In fact, those kinds of things usually go a long way towards being an endearing aspect, reminding
the husband or wife of one another; through the love that they shared in making that child.
Lending to the idea that if anything were to ever happen to either of them, they would always have
a little piece of their beloved to live on through the child/children. And having that reminder would
ultimately and always outweigh ANY "genetically superior" offspring one could hope for.
But that's only if a person wants children WITH a partner and not as a solo project.
