Empirical evidence for the distinction of desire and pleasure

I don’t think these are true, meditative and motivated bliss are equally enjoyable as far as I know but meditative bliss which I see (AND COULD STILL BE GETTING THE WRONG END OF THE STICK) as all pleasure ‘liking’ without desire ‘wanting’ isn’t going to work in the world of fitness and selection pressure. Without thought for the future what would be the motivation to prevent future suffering?
I still don’t understand how Buddhists wouldn’t want to be a desireless wireheader if desire is suffering (it’s not)
