Because firstly perfection is impossible in nature and even if it were moral perfection is so abstract that even if everyone everywhere was morally perfect we humans are so diverse as a species we'd probably go to war just to disprove the differences in our moral perfection. As for spiritual perfection well that brings up the inevitable problem with perfection. There have been a great many enlightened souls in human history (a fair number of whom I suspect have either been forgotten, overlooked, or whose impacts have been lost in the sands of time). But history shows that even the most benevolent of such teachers can and will have their teachings twisted and corrupted by successive generation of followers. Besides if we humans were perfect in anything we would become a race of despondence because we would have nothing more to strive for. Lastly one more reason moral perfection wouldn’t work is that we humans would then become fully aware of our countless transgressions from throughout the ages and that would lead to a species wide psychological scar to make the marks still festering from the Great War and WW2 look like a hang nail in comparison.
