Would you trust handing a sack full of money to a stranger and tell them to bring it to the bank for you or do you hire an armored car service?
We need https because the modern web browser isn't a trustworthy or secure program. A web browser isn't a sandbox so code can be injected into an insecure http stream to force the browser to compromise the machine it is running on. This is just the state of the internet - there are literal highwaymen in the form of malicious routers and other networking hardware on the internet. https is unfortunately the ony way to ensure the highway for your data is secure and the data arriving to you is trustworthy.
The only way to avoid this is to use a browser like netsurf that eliminates the insecure modernity or dont use the web.
