Two problems with this:
1) Alright. So Earth is likely to be beautiful to any organism that requires to live in earth like conditions to survive. But that doesn't make it objectively more beautiful than any other planet. There could theoretically be forms of life that thrive on planets we call 'toxic'. This also ties in with the problem of 'terraforming'. If we impose our own conditions of life, ethical codes, and aesthetic projections on the rest of the cosmos, its no different to any form of religious conversion, colonialism, or extreme political view.
2) Let's not confuse the concept of 'beauty' with the concept of 'survival'. Beauty can be expressed through things which are inherently harmful. For example: sublime experience (like a thunderstorm) can be very beautiful. But you wouldn't want lightning to strike you.

Unless you're crazy.

My US History work is super biased. Constantly implying that America is the best country. (I disagree, even if I am an American Citizen)
