Ok I do get why we aren't just one big bone, but why don't our palms and feet fuse?
Those are the ones we move the most.
Because then they would be immobile without any joints between the bones. If they were one big bone, they’d essentially be a block of wood shaped like a hand/foot

Bone Apple Pie
Having a bone is perfectly normal for around half of humans.
For a human having two bones is not normal. Also for 3 bones, 4 bones and so on. Curiously having a few bones is normal for some animals, such as dogs.
Then it's normal again for humans to have around 206 bones.
This is one of life's great paradoxes.
I'm just one big boned
Off we’re only had one bone then dogs would need to be way bigger and probably wouldn’t be our friends.
I went out skiing and broke my... Armbonehiplegneckskull thing
Flexibility. If everything was a thick, rigid bone we would be far less agile.
Energy. I imagine maintaining bone density for thicker bones would require more food to be consumed.
Medical. Breaking bigger bones would be more traumatic and debilitating than breaking smaller bones.
"one bone" still has teeth
Those are luxury face bones, they don't count.
To make archeology more interesting.

They're called chiropractors and that's a weird thing to say about them
