what is the universal terminal goal?
there are still persistent disagreements among philosophers.
A lot of what you call unsolved problems are not problems but misunderstandings.
At least anyone who has studied a bit of physics can use a Huygens construction to predict what you see.
Why should gravity and electromagnetism be related at all?
Wrong starting point. Why assume that there is or should be one? Anyway, ΔS > 0, whatever.
Researchers in AI safety is struggling with the goal alignment problem. What should entities much smarter than all of humans combined should align their goals to? Should they align their goals with us, humans who created them? Or should we humans align our goals with theirs instead?The question can't be answered without properly defining goal. It leads to the concept of consciousness, which also needs to be properly defined. Philosophers of the pasts have failed to reach a consensus because they haven't found workable definitions of those concepts.
The goal of any machine is determined by its creator. The only problem with AI is determining exactly who is legally liable for its output, and that will be resolved by a decision in a court of law.
The questions listed above are some of the most important unsolved problems known to humanity, which have long been overdue.Perhaps not many people are willing to spend their precious time trying to solve them. It might be caused by mediocre mindset. They think if they can solve those problems, someone else smarter than them who are more familiar with the problems must have solved them first, so why bother? Thus, solving those problems requires us to first overcome that mediocre mindset barrier. Only then we are willing to spend our time and effort to look for the solutions.Some other people are not interested in the problems because they don't think that they have direct impact to their lives, so they just do their business as usual. Those thoughts must have reduced the number of potential solvers.

Why should they be separated instead?

We observe that they do, exactly as predicted by Einstein. Science isn't about asking why, but how and how much (spacetime curvature).
The question was yours. You asked why can't they affect each other, and I pointed out that gravity certainly does affect em radiation, wholly predictably, but it doesn't imply that they are in any way similar or related.
Don't you realize that causation is a subset of relationship?
Water will extinguish a fire, does that mean they are in the same category? No.
