haven't heard the argument before, but one problem that I see is the
underlying use of the term "intelligent" (meaning "divine") designer.
Another problem with the term "intelligent" is that we simply don't know what it means. What looks "unintelligent" in one context could well be quite "intelligent" in a deeper context; and, of course, vice versa. Just as there is no end to the question, "Why?", so there is no end to the cycle "this seems stupid," "no, it's not," "yes, it is," etc.
 
If there is an intelligent designer, who or what designed it? And who or what designed the designer of the intelligent designer? And so on, ad infinitum. And if nobody was needed to design the designer, why then is anybody needed to design mere humans?
