Cow's milk actually robs you of calcium and on top of that your body isn't meant to digest animal milk of any sort after the first couple of years of your life. We just force it to for years after it's no longer a true necessity.
No
No one's forcing you to drink milk.

I'm sorry, does having genes that explicitly help in drinking milk beyond infancy not count? Not just one gene mind you, several genes, some of while evolved multiple times in different areas. How does that mean "we're not mean to drink milk after infancy"?
We domesticated grains and legumes around the same time, does this mean bread is bad for us? Are potatoes slowly killing everyone? Is chocolate evil? We're generalists and have a long history of scavenging, we're designed to eat whatever we can get including grass, dirt, and carrion. Our immune system and digestive system are both quite good at processing rotting meat compared to most mammals, and we're much more resistant to toxins too. Dogs are also generalists, yet we regularly eat large amounts of things that will kill them, like onions, garlic, and grapes. We enjoy the taste of natural pest control like mustard and capsaicin. Milk is a rare nutrient dense and safe food compared to what we were usually eating before agriculture.
your body is meant for you to digest anything possible
About 68% of adults in the entire world lose their ability to fully digest lactose. There's also plenty of other things the body can't digest what-so-ever.

Fucking vegan. Fuck off.
Wait until you hear about the ultra processed fad. They make vegans look tame.
