Evolution is massively inefficient as a design process, and gives no guarantees about what you get.

Personal immortality is the goal.

Sorry, personal immortality isn't my goal. I permit that it can be a goal for others. I trust my current self to be mutable. I do not trust a society of people like me to desire mutability on the large scale.
