First to answer your questions, absolutely not.Your statement is correct, and I would like to direct you to one thing I said earlier:
A moral code does help form a bedrock for the formation of society, but, I ask, does that give your or my life meaning, does it create significance? Purpose? Sure, morals might help run society, but that doesn't validate our existence, as I've said, it only serves to help you and I fall asleep at night.
Morals as you say, help us to sleep better at night in not doing to the best of our knowledge harm to others or in hurting others.
As for a purpose in life however, that is up to each individual - whatever purpose the individual sets in their life is then the meaning of their existence. As to what that purpose is? It's up to the individual to discover that for themselves - aka enlightenment.
