Why can’t we cure the common cold?

I've always wondered if the common cold is not something that we just need from time to time. I mean, it seems so universal, and the reasons we catch it so random sometime it seems like the body just decide "ok let that in".

Agreed, like a mostly harmless disease that we get occasionally to keep our defense mechanisms working and ready for possible worse problems. Like a natural health check up.
