I don't know. If everyone was perfect, how would that work? No diseases. Everyone is very intelligent. Everyone is very gifted. Everyone is very physically fit. Everyone is beautiful.
Little to no variety. No-one will want to do menial work. No one will excel at anything more than anyone else in that same field. If we have everything and want for nothing, will we strive to improve or change anything?
This reminds me of a part of the movie "Matrix Reloaded", where the Architect says the first version of the Matrix was as perfect as it was a total failure.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
