while many of the laws in the torah can be assigned common sense by man it just that.
God did not give justifications for his commandments.
He said, dont do this, dont do that, oh and you need to do this.
the why and in many case the how, was determined and assigned by man, in order to help us perform the duties which god assigned us, or particularly in the case of the why, to help us understand and relate to god, and perhaps why he may have given us such a commandment.
Not so that we could second guess god, the reasons for god's commandments are god's own, whatever meaning we mortals may assign to them.
and until god steps up and says:
oh by the way, yall are so modern now, you dont need that law any more, have a nice day.
it is remains gods will and command that we follow that law.

To do otherwise is simply to disobey god.
