Why are humans bipedal? Walking straight up sucks compared to the way chimps walk, what is evolutionary reason for this?

There's a race held regularly that pits human marathoners against horses over long distance and the horses have won every single edition last I checked.
Humans being the best long distance runners in the world is a meme.

You save calories but you need a bigger brain for it. Imagine our output with an slug body, we could use all our brains for intellectual purposes.

Wild humans, unlike wild horses, were much stronger than domestic humans. They had to be nerfed for slavery to work.

A slug needs to activate countless muscles for every movement, yet is slow. Bad example.
