what's the evolutionary reason for genders?
it would make much more sense for survival if you could be pregnant with yourself

Greater chance of mutation's manifesting on Y chromosome. Evolution essentially ceases in asexual species.

Sexual recombination increases mutation rate, specifically in individuals who successfully reproduced. Recombination keeps a gene pool healthy and provides variations necessary for evolution.
Basically, sexual reproduction greatly increases the speed at which we say things evolved.

The Y chromosome is pretty boring in that regards, and most gendered animals don't have them as a result.

Recombination and elimination of parasitism are the big ones.

why aren't we hermaphrodites with a strong sex drive but capable of popping out clones if we didn't manage to mate?

Because vertebrate life on earth didn't evolve like that. On other planets it may have.
