Our spinal columns and knee joints are very poorly designed for upright locomotion.
We have a sharp ridge on the inside of our skulls.
No, mike. Nature is full of "good enough" design, and it's also full of design that is clearly modifications of existing structures or systems to serve new purposes, or multiple purposes.
