To reject that this necessarily shows that AGI is possible, you would have to demonstrate human intelligence is tied to an immaterial soul granted by a supernatural being.
Some people do in fact believe this. I think that if we can't build AGI even with a perfect copy of a brain, that would instead be a surprising proof the existence of souls.

Let's run with that. Just using your definition of intelligence: given AI can already beat us in Chess, in Go, in Mathematical Olympiad puzzles, in protein folding predictions, in poker, at real world stock market analysis, in the game of Diplomacy, … — does it matter that they're not what you call intelligent?

Why does it matter if it's "life" or "consciousness"?

Incorrect. For something to be possible in an absolute sense, it has to be possible in both the physical and the metaphysical realm, and a lack of knowledge of blockers in the metaphysical does not mean that there are none (in a comprehensive sense), it only means it appears that way, due to (at least) our cultural beliefs ("truths") and conditioning.
> ...you would have to demonstrate human intelligence is tied to an immaterial soul granted by a supernatural being.
Could demonstrating that intelligence rests upon a virtual reality generation machine (that cloaks itself from being realized as such) or something else not also work, at least maybe?
Sure we do: we're made of atoms.
