So, basically you're asking why human beings evolved one way and not another as regards gestation and reproduction?
Short answer (and I'm not a biologist, by any stretch): We've evolved the way we have because it works. How do I know? Because if it didn't work, we would have evolved some other way.
Your question is fatuous on the face of it. It's like asking, 'Why are trees made of wood and not cheese?' or 'Why do goats have horns and not flippers?'.
