Just because a purpose isn't defined by an external entity (the whole "God has a purpose for you" line is just a way to feel special and avoid reality) or defined via a biological process doesn't mean purpose doesn't exist.
It just means the purpose is found elsewhere, be it yourself or society or a combination.
Some purposes probably only impact a few other individuals. Other purposes help perpetuate society (and thus our species) as a whole.
Just because those purposes don't impact the universe or transcend all of time and space doesn't make those purposes a delusion or absurd. It just means they're smaller than you maybe wish they were.
