I sometimes wonder myself about some of the issues you raised.
Anyways ... these bodies are stupid. Unless the purpose of them is to make people suffer for some reason. Then they have achieved their goal.

The human body is an amazing mechanism. If we take good care of it, it’s mostly self repairing. .

The human body sucks. It's supposed to have been intelligently designed. But unless it was designed for suffering being the goal, the body itself sucks.
It is soft and weak. It gets sick easily. It gets tens of thousands of diseases, many painful or deadly ones, easily. It is often in pain, sometimes chronic pain. It requires food to continue which requires work on our part and if we are in pain or are sick then that work can't happen and we starve. People count on being able to see and hear and walk and think in order to function and many many things can go wrong with the body to make that not able to happen.
I am thinking that the purpose of the human body is suffering for the soul who is unfortunate enough to be imprisoned in it. There could be no other explanation if you believe in intelligent design.
This summer my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer, had surgery, is recovering from surgery but is having complications. He also got diagnosed with Parkinsons and that's a nasty nasty disease that has dementia in it's later stages which is going to be awful. And I"m sitting here typing this while I have my own health issues going on ... sjogrens, neuropathy, eye pressure problems (hope I don't go blind!), and others I won't gt into .... and I'm sitting here waiting to go to the emergency room because something happened with my back a while ago and i can barely move. It freak'n hurts.
I hate being in this failing body. I am looking forward to being ethereal. (at the time decided upon by God, no I'm not suicidal). Being free of a body in the afterlife. Hope that is a better time of it than what we have here. I hope the afterlife is as good as 'they' say, and that we don't get a nasty surprise.
