Do note that while feeling pain is generally a bad thing, being able to feel pain is an amazingly useful ability for people to have. The entire point of pain is to provide rapid feedback when things happen that harm the body, so that the decision-making algorithm can do things to prevent further and/or future damage. Without being able to feel pain, people can do things like forget to use a utensil to retrieve eggs from boiling water.
