You're imagining a future that is a continuation of our lives here and that is kind to currently living humans. But this is just inventing requirements.
Imagine none of what you've presumed is necessary is even a design objective. Maybe it is, but probably it's too difficult and uneconomical. These capabilities could be built without ever enabling any of us to live or achieve immortality.
Those hypothetical digital beings could be human-like, maybe exact simulations, or perhaps totally different. They could be benevolent, or perhaps not. We might come to a conclusion that it's no longer ethical to have biological humans. Or maybe we're forced into that outcome.
Who knows. This is all wild postulation. But one thing that might happen is runaway growth and a deviation from a world we're familiar with.
