Like any shastra - the ultimate purpose of Ayurveda is Moksha (liberation from cycles of Births and Deaths) - From a Darshana point of view (I purposefully avoid the word philosophical - as darshana and philosophy are different from each other) Ayurveda is closely connected with Saankhyaa, however from the diagonosis point of view it is connected with Nyaya (Epistemology) - the treatises like Madhava Nidana (diagnosis), Padaarthavignana, etc. have adopted the priciples of Nyaya. Thus the upaveda - Ayurveda deserves a space not just as a holistic Health science but also on deeper aspects of the need for a good health and balance for leading a meaningful life
