That's because evolution isn't trying to make anything, it's just what happened to get passed on

Even if it were "working towards a goal" there are so many generations between any starting point and the end, that you could find one and say "wow this is silly, why doesn't it have X yet".

As we all know, the end goal of evolution is carcinization. We should not have soft outsides. We need a shell, NOW. sicko-crab
