I am an honest person who values truth and logical argument and

The above seems a bit excessive.
I agree, one's motivations for having children tend
to be complex. We have three, and I can't easily
summarize what we get out of it. By most objective
measures of utility, we're coming out behind.
And yet, it's very rewarding. I guess I'd boil it down
to one sentence as "Children give one's life meaning".
Not that I can define "meaning"!

A well-designed study would definitely control for
wanted versus un-wanted children.
