You're giving that prohibition too much credit. You're doing so in light of knowledge that the people who authored it did not have (that we possess now). You cannot eat those things because they are "unclean". That is, spiritually deficient and not worthy of consumption by a spiritually glorified creature. It had nothing to do with refridgeration or spoilage, but it still performed that function in their complete ignorance of the specifics. In other words, a lucky mistake with practical benefits.
As to the OP, some of those prohibitions would have been literally impossible for my ancestors to follow, such as the prohibition against pork. Past a certain point in time there was very little else that could offer sufficient levels of sustenance, hence a culture that both consumed pork, and deified the boar. Maybe god should have dropped something else for my ancestors to eat on their little island if he didn't want me to hail from a pork eating culture. On another note, the only reason I managed to avoid dick injury in the first place was because my family did not assign any value to those prohibitions. Otherwise I'd be walking around with what appeared to be a little growth sprouting from between my legs rather than something that looks completely in place and natural to the rest of my body. I personally think that whoever came up with the circumcision bit really like to stare at penis, and thought of foreskin as an obstruction to their cock-gazing fetish.
