I mean, you're not stating anything interesting...
For example lets take how we treat children.
"Act good or Santa won't bring you gifts". Which really means "Please don't act like a turd burglar and I'll buy you some nice things one day a year".
Instead of going straight to the second point, humans love putting hocus pocus of a magical being dropping gifts in the house to their children. Correct, many religious traditions like "hey don't eat pork" make sense if you have no means of cooking meat to temperature. But they have little purpose once you have a basic understanding of the reasoning behind why you got sick. The same goes for anything that is stuck in the stone ages of a sky daddy versus moving to the more complex domain of philosophy.
If humans were optimized to seek truth, we'd have had the scientific revolution soon after we became intelligent. Instead it took 10,000 years or so before that happened.
