It's not just about reflexes though I would hardly classify reflexes as "lost quickly". That's just not true.

It's deeper than that. Our brains are optimized for a lot general human functions. Learning language is one of them. There's a whole section of the brain dedicated to it and other things.

There's also a lot of vital biological information encoded in DNA/RNA. We are not even close to starting from scratch.

We actually still have them as adults, but are suppressed by our brain. With brain damage or spinal cord injury, a lot of these reflexes return.
