So why is having a national identity, common culture and a common people so important?
Why can't countries just be like the Soviet Union or the USA? A mish mash of everything in one huge superstate.
As someone with 4 different passports and mixed ancestry this would be fine by me.

Because we as a society hold certain values that are not held by other cultures. When these cultures attempt to change our values or come into direct conflict with those values you cannot live peacefully. This is why we have nation-states so that different cultures can live peacefully with the values that are important to them.
Do you feel loyalty to any one of those 4 countries?
Do you feel like you belong anywhere?

Why is living so important?

Probably because they would be arbitrary.

we had that already. We destroyed the other culture in the process.

It did, once. The US was very cruel in it's warfare against the rebels. We're way too scared of our giant military to think seriously about revolting now.

What would be the purpose of this state?
The nationstate is the organization of the tribe, there is no tribe there is no point to this state, for economic power I can just rob.

I would have no nation in that state, no purpose, one of the truths of the world aka biology exterminated in favor of arbitrary momentary opinions and ideology which none of which are true or exist.

>I want bread?
I steal it
>I want a car
I steal it
Next you will tell me of "risks" well the governments jurisdiction historically has a much higher risk with their wars.
I would rather have no government then a foreign one governing me.
