How do you know we are not perfectly fit for our purpose?
Human beings have no purpose, at least on a cosmic scale.
Teleology is a lot like existence, it seems to need a final cause. For example, perhaps God had an intention or goal in creating man, but if God himself doesn't have an ideal or desired purpose, then God's creations are ultimately without purpose. Due to God's aseity, that God is not dependent on anything but himself, all of God's preferences, intentions, and so on are arbitrary and no different from mere random choices. So God choosing to create man a specific way is also ultimately no different than a random choice.
