Everyone knew Biden was going to screw up, and yet they went ahead with it. How could this be?

They didn't know. Biden was a lot more lucid in prior appearances, like the state of the union speech. They genuinely didn't know it would go like this.

Biden and his team wanted the debate, the idea was to remind the people how unhinged Trump was early enough.

They knew because they know what Biden is like in private when he's not on amphetamines

Well who's "they"? I don't think many people within the democratic party get to see Biden in a private setting.

You know, they! "The Oligarchy" as Axios called them. His wife, daughter, son, and some old white dude. Also probably his entire cabinet sees him in various states of disrepair in the White House. He can't be buzzing on meth all day every day.
