It's simple. The heart leave you open to all kinds of pain and suffering. Feelings of grief and betrayal are only possible because you have a heart. Why does humanity need something like that?
Because the heart also means humanity can feel all sorts of other things that are better. Love, for one thing. Hope. Excitement. Courage. There's always going to be bad but what about the good?
Your first fallacy was linking motivation to emotions.
It's exactly the opposite. What about all those people whose very existence is nothing but hell? The pain in their hearts weight them down, and keep them from living their lives. Not everyone gets to experience the "good," you know.
But if you think about it in reverse, isn't motivation an experience of the heart in the first place? If you can't feel anything, then how can you even know what the good actually is? It sounds more miserable to never know the difference because good and bad are the same.
