And, it (what he said - Survival of the Fittest) makes sense in evolutionary theory, as a metaphor or term of art which is the way he (Darwin) used the term.

You do realize "survival of the fittest" is nothing Darwin said, and makes no real sense in evolutionary theory, right?

"This preservation of favourable variations, and the destruction of injurious variations, I call Natural Selection, or the Survival of the Fittest." — Darwin, Charles (1869), On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (5th Ed. 1869).

Yeah, he added it in to the 5th edition. Its generally accepted that that 1st edition was the best. He used it to mean "best adapted for the immediate local environment"

Actually, he appears to have used it as a shorthand for "preservation of favourable variations, and the destruction of injurious variations," if his own words are any guide.

Well, preservation of favourable variations, ie those best adapted to the immediate local environment. Charlie should probably have left it at the 1st edition as most of his subsequent tinkering made the book less clear.
