Interesting point, streamline or/and time and effort. Perhaps it comes down to choice, do we want to spend more time on one occupation/task than another. Just to be Devil's advocate how do we know there is nothing natural or human about capitalist practices? Could we argue that we have such practices ergo they are a natural outcome of being human.
I think there can be mistakes in evolution, and not always immediately fatal ones. I think humanity took a wrong turn at some point and is now tortured by this dominant prevalent choice.
My belief is that agriculture should have never prevailed, it changed nutrition, health, and eventually social organization by making hierarchies mandatory. Capitalism is just a bi-product of this developmental error.
Hunters and gatherers as small nomadic communities lived harmoniously with their fellow species in any environment humans were found to live. @lindasgoluppiart
Perhaps what might be concieved as a 'mistake' in evolution is just another viewing from a particular belief system. I like the idea of a multiverse view where all those 'misakes' didn't happen and evolution plays out accordingly.
There has been growing evidence from people in the early agri-regions that life expectancy and skeletal structure pointed to nutritional deficiency and/or due to change in daily activity. Hunting/gathering being healthier exercise than destroying the soil's top layer and deforesting.
The selection of food grown was also bad, being the easiest to reproduce had lesser nutrition qualities. This has less to do with belief system.
Unless being weak, unhealthy and dying early is perceived as positive.
There is also support for skull size decreasing which is a weak determinant of intelligence. Organized religion was also a byproduct of such societies :)

Where is the support for "humans naturally streamlining time from tasks" ... it may appear logical to do so, and scientific, but natural?
Look around, humans have loved to waste time in the most unnecessary ways
If they are hungry they will streamline the task of finding food, if they need shelter, maybe, water .. otherwise they do nothing but waste time
