The way I see it, the "natural" languages don't make sense because they aren't planned. But as with other things, I find that the perceived weirdness of other languages often comes from what we're used to. You might, for instance, make a similar argument regarding normal use of the sound for the alveolar trill [0]. As for the German grammar you mention, English is really the odd one out here - grammatical gender is fairly common. German is a weird language, though:P I think what really makes German weird is the [0] grammatical case.
