Humans aren't computers.

A machine can throw a fastball at speeds well above what humans can do. That doesn't mean we retire pitchers completely and end the game of baseball. A car can cover 100m in a fraction of the time humans can, doesn't mean we end track and field.

Chess is a game between humans and that's what makes it exciting.

And with computers we have a whole additional layer added where we can see what an essentially perfect game would look like and compare to that (although computers can still occasionally be surprised by human moves).

We probably have the technology to have races using self driving cars without drivers (perhaps with more accidents). It may be interesting to watch, but it would be a different sport

We don't. Self-driving race cars are hilariously bad.
