Hunter/gatherer humanity did not have the luxury of a sedentary lifestyle, so it did have a negative impact on your ability to produce children for a long time.
> In fact, an indoors lifestyle is much more fit in the longterm than a life of hard labor.
I think "hard labor" is a bit extreme, but even so, working a physically demanding job is still better for your overall health than a sedentary lifestyle of office job + sitting on the couch watching Netflix.
> better for your overall health
Again, evolution does not care. As long as you can survive to about 40 (long enough to raise children), it makes no difference.

Evolution isn't trying to create the Platonic Ideal of a human. It just is a thoughtless mechanism to efficiently reproduce DNA.
