the reason humans cook is we evolved from a species that cooked Homo-erectus used fire to cook. which means when we evolved from them into Homo-sapiens our digestive systems evolved to require the cooking of foods both meat and plant based as most plants are either not very nutritious in their raw state  (as we don't have complex gut systems like herbivores) or actually harmful raw many are goitrogenic raw. as for saying go into the wild where there is no fire Homo-sapien have always had fire as our ancestors homo-erectus had fire and as long a you can find wood you can start a fire to cook. we may have evolved from a herbivore but we are a long long way removed from that ancestor our ancestors were eating meat 4 million years ago and is shown in the fossil records before homo-sapiens evolved. the teeth argument again hate to tell you this but it is a flawed argument for either side as the teeth argument would lead to the belief that gorillas, baboons and hippos were carnivores
