Why do we perceive the world as we do, with space and time, when quantum theory shows us space and time don't even exist? Why have our senses evolved in a way that let us not experience true reality and instead give us illusions about reality?

How else would we perceive it?
We can't really know why we are how we are until we know how else things can be.

Space and time are both mental constructs of evolutionary origins, the purpose of which is to help the brain make sense of all the data collected through the senses, in order to build mental models of the world used by the organism in fulfilling its Darwinistic goals of survival and reproduction.

Because humans are stupid and there’s a reason we all make fun of you. Imagine not even being able to visualize your entire existence on a subatomic scale.

How does something even live or evolve or progress if time isn't already a factor?
There's clearly something more to spacetime than our senses but I don't think it's all mental construct.

Time is just an illusion, humans see things changing and want to find meaning in it. What we call "time" is just the speed that particles are working, and it fluctuates (aka time dilation) because acceleration and velocity interact with and increase/decrease the rate that the particles are working. The human brain is a physical object built from particles, so our ability to think is directly tied to the speed of the particles, which gives us the extremely smooth and reliablr experience we know as the passage of time.

How can anything change without time?

What does that have to with quantum physics? What is change and speed?

>Why do we perceive the world as we do, with space and time
We pressupose them, they are pure a priori forms of sensory intuition. Necessary for us to experience the phenomenal world.
>when quantum theory shows us space and time don't even exist?
It doesn't do this you schizo.
>Why have our senses evolved in a way that let us not experience true reality and instead give us illusions about reality?
We can never know the Noumenal world, not because our senses haven't evolved in a way to let us experience it but because it is impossible to experience things in in of themself. No evolution of sense could ever let us experience true reality.
