Big, we season our foods because of the tastes, obv. The nerves on our tongue send signals to our nerve system etc. What happens is that the things that our body needs taste good, ex sugar. Sugar is energy and energy is good, thus we feel attracted to it. This also applies to fat. Yes, both are unhealthy in large amounts, but that's how things are. That didn't really answer the question, but we season our food simply for it to cause more appetite, and because we humans are developed enough to know how to enjoy and not enjoy things.

Urgh. Time is a dimension, and it affects other things than just us humans and our close environment.

Lastly, don't bother your heads with the afterlife. You can't know, unless you get religious revelations ;o In either case, if there's nothing after death, you won't mind, and if there's something after death, just live a good life, which there's no harm of doing anyways.
