I does raise an important question. Why do we have predators and why do we even have a food chain?

Is it possible that evolutionary consuming meat gives you an advantage?

There is no "why". We do, that is a fact of life and we can not, at the current time, do anything to change this. It is not due to a choice that we made, nor can we make a choice to change it.

If, one day, we are in a position where we can make that choice, then that will be a relevant moral question to decide.

Do you mean predators in general or just humans? Because humans can definitely make a choice right now.

Predators in general was the topic, for some reason.
