Absolutely not.
While I agree that there ought to be practical good from all aspects of the moral spectrum, to say that someone who engages in practical good without the intent of moral attributions has a greater impact is an unsubstantiated statement that I have serious issues with!
To begin with, your perspective ignores the nature of morality and the depth of human compassion. It focuses on immediate outcomes without understanding that even acts of altruism without immediate positive impact hold intrinsic value as it fosters compassion and empathy within communities, and it encourages others to perform similar behaviours until it does make an impact. A collective positive impact. All of that starts from a desire to perform a social good!
