To address a few things:
--Yes, as far as I'm aware my original statement as Mutant genetics being the step beyond human one's in the marvel context, i.e, the evolution of one form to another is correct. Magneto said as much in HOX/POX, hence why he views mutants as inheritors of the earth and why, in the past, he's sought to hurry it along. The different backgrounds of each mutant from each walk of life poses just as much, if not more, genetic variation if you take into consideration how strands of powers can be inherited and further mutated.
--Yes, Apocalypse has been a selective breeder, however I'm not saying that was all he did, that's an oversimplification of my point: though he might seek to change his tactics, he still believes in genetic superiority and how that makes those with said superior genetics more fitter than others to thrive/survive. He might well relax his standards now that mutants are united, however, that is still his driving force; survival of the fittest, regardless of what 'makes' those fittest. It could be smarts, it could be skill, it could be power-set, but he'll still view mutants as superior to humans and set to prove that. Hence his line in Excalibur #1 about expanding Krakoan reach into other realms and to what cost.
Personally, I don't see what further nuance you could get from that other than going on to teach him further life lessons about challenging his notions, but even then that's already proven to be as such; he see's use in humans but they'll never be equal to mutants, hence the coven's destruction on panel there.
