However, this sentence: "Such anatomical peculiarities make no sense if the structures are uniquely engineered and unrelated." sure sounds like an attempt to make an argument against intelligent design.

You are correct. However the major proponents of intelligent design, including ALL of its best known proponents (Behe, et. al.), repeatedly assure us that intelligent design is completely devoid of religious implications.

so what's your point?

This is a new one to me. I suppose it is possible to argue that intelligent design does not imply a Supreme Being, but then you would have to believe that life on Earth was created by little green men (perhaps from Mars). I am not familiar with Behe, or his friends. As far as I knew the best-known proponent of intelligent design is the Bible.
