Eh, maybe.

1,2,3) All subjective opinions.

4) 'Embodiment' is another term we don't really know how to define. At what point does an entity have a 'body' of the sort that supports 'intelligence'? If you want to stick with vague definitions, 'awareness' seems sufficient. Otherwise you will end up arguing about paralyzed people, Helen Keller, that rock opera by the Who about the pinball player, and so on.

5) OK, so the technology that dragged Lee Sedol up and down the goban lacks long-term planning capacity. Got it.

None of these criteria are up to the task of supporting or refuting something as vague as 'intelligence.' I almost think there has to be an element of competition involved. If you said that the development of true intelligence requires a self-directed purpose aimed at outcompeting other entities for resources, that would probably be harder to dismiss. Could also argue that an element of cooperation is needed, again serving the ultimate purpose of improving competitive fitness.
