I think the "Universe/life has no meaning" sentence can mean two completely different things:
1. It could have a meaning, but there is none. For example food can have taste, but if it has none, we assume there is something wrong with it.
2. It is not possible for it to have a meaning, because it simply lacks that property. For example: what is the color of running? There is no color, and could never be.
I think "Universe/life has no meaning" falls in the second category, and I have absolutely no problem with that.
