evolution - Why do some bad traits evolve, and good ones don't?


If a trait would be advantageous to an organism then why hasn't it evolved yet?


Conversely, if a trait is not advantageous or mildly disadvantageous, why does it exist?


In other words why does evolution not make the organism more "perfect"?





This is a general question that would be applicable for any kind of trait. Please keep the answers precise and scientific.
