They aren't just pipes obviously. You've got muscles, nerves, bones, cartilage, and all sorts of other functions besides just letting air/food pass through. You want a pipe just for your lungs coming out of your face? You'll be spewing mucous out all day long. You couldn't speak. If you did move your larynx over, you couldn't articulate words. Your face would be longer and your neck would be wider. It couldn't just be using your nose for respiration and mouth for eating for many reasons. If that were the case, then the common cold would be fatal. Also, have you ever tried to run a few miles only breathing through your nose? How would you remove things from your nose? In other words, you do you make sure mucous gets out? With our current setup, if something gets in your nose, you can simply breathe in through your mouth, then push air (and the obstruction) out of your nose. You are oversimplifying the problem.
