Hmm, interesting. Our bodies also weren't constructed for certain high speeds, but I don't see you arguing against cars, planes, or any other mode of transport. Our bodies weren't constructed to be cut into, but I don't see you arguing against surgery. Our bodies weren't constructed to see or hear acutely for our entire life cycle, but I don't see you arguing against spectacles or hearing aids. Are you against pacemakers, since clearly the body's heart was constructed to give out?
Because it's not really about bodily integrity or purpose, is it? You've just found something you don't like, and like any good theist, you're scrabbling for dishonest post-hoc rationalizations to avoid seeming like the baseless bigot you are.
But let's even be generous and take your claim on its own merits: you do realize there are a lot of things about the construction of the body that are wrong, don't you? We've got organs we don't need that can swell up and kill us, wisdom teeth that sometimes need to be removed, eyes that aren't constructed anywhere near efficiently... the human body is kind of a mess. Why are you placing so much importance on what it was constructed to do? Are you aware that our spinal nerves were constructed to allow for hunched forward quadrupedal movement more than they were for an upright locomotion? Are you, by your own logic, going to start shuffling around on your knuckles?
