I don't know, not every aspect of our biology is an evolutionary advantage. Some just didn't have enough of a negative impact to get weeded out over time. For example we're rather squishy. Considering that built-in armor is a known-feature of other animals, the devs could have added that into the release. Honestly I would expect "not squishy" to have been in the initial human MVP release. I mean, they figured out that the mouth input channel needed to occasionally be used as an emergency output-- they had some idea of what they were doing, but still missed some obvious things.
Then again, if we're being developed by an evolutionary algorithm, why should I assume we're a full version release? It's possible we're still in the alpha stage. Or possibly some other developmental culdesac that just hasn't been pruned yet. We could be one of many incorrect answers to a recursive depth-first search algorithm, each iteration of which uses incremental parameter changes for the input of the evolutionary algorithm. Some dev one level up in the layers of reality might be getting yelled at right now for not using a breadth-first approach, or for using a resource intensive evolution process when the client just needed something "good enough".
