Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir dire "primordial" ? Peut-être devrait-il être "prééminent", par exemple. 'Primordial' suggère quelque chose qui existe depuis la nuit des temps, quelque chose d'assez primitif, dont aucun ne sonne juste dans ce contexte.

A partial faux amI - the “worst” kind to come to grips with in my view !
In French, in addition to the common English meaning of primordial, ‘primordial’ also means vital, essential, or as Larousse puts it ‘qui est jugé de la plus grande importance’ or Robert ‘ qui est de première importance ‘.
The use of ‘primordial’ is quite common in this context in French, and I have seen it used this way in other French teaching, but am yet to come across the synonym ‘prééminent’ in the same lessons - whether because I just haven’t read widely enough yet or because it is less used, won’t judge.
