I'm not really sure what you mean by "referential". I think there some actions that are good or bad, and that saying so is more than a mere statement of opinion.
Why are they universally so?

Read Das Kapital and learn how those goods are produced through exploitation of labour, you will come to realize that there's no such thing as ethical consumption under captialism
Just about everything is immoral, an infringement of your rights, victimisation of the innocent and exploitation if you think about it.
Pointing out asymetries of power like that is how feminism, communism, libertarianism, grievance studies etc. work.

Why does Lanny believe human life is objectively good? Obviously human life is good from the perspective of a human, but what makes it objectively good?

There's lots of ways. A common one is "quality adjusted years of human life produced/reduced". Another is more binary: "does this action fulfill or violate my moral obligations". These things are about as measurable as any output of actuarial science, which no one claims is mere subjective opinion.
Neither of those are an objective measurement of goodness or badness.
