@Stuart,
It might help to take a step back and realise that arguing that particular parts of what we did for survival and evolutionary reasons in the past should now be continued is a theory/philosophy itself.
I agree that humans have messed up some things.
I also value a number of inventions, constructions, environmental modifications, dietary modifications, social forms, etc devised by human minds. I have no intention of providing myself with the same environment that my ancestors have lived in through most of our evolution - even if it were possible.
I do agree that breastfeeding generally provides the best available food for infants. (If the mother has been poisoned, it won't be optimal, and formula may be preferable.)
I don't think your analogy necessary holds when you move on to adults.
