I Know Why God Created Pandas

They were created just to be cute. Let me break it down -

Exhibit A: they are incredibly inefficient at digesting bamboo (the main source of their diet), because their intestinal structure is really more suited to eating meat.
Exhibit B: The mother/baby ratio is horribly off. The mother weighs about 250-300 pounds while the baby panda cub weighs the same as about a stick of butter when they're born, which heightens the possibility of accidents that can happen to the baby.
Exhibit C: The mother panda can only care for one baby cub at a time. Which means that if the mother gives birth to twins, she would have to let one die in the wild.
Exhibit D: Pandas only mate once a year.

Is there any shock that pandas are on the brink of extinction? So why are these awfully inefficient bears created? To be cute, that's why. I give you,
Exhibit E:
