I understand food wasn’t always so abundant, and humans were well served to store excess consumed energy as fat for later use. What I don’t understand is why the body keeps storing fat to the point where a person becomes morbidly obese and it puts their entire health at risk. Why isn’t there a point where the body just let’s the extra calories pass through without saving for later?

An oversimplified answer, but the calories, carbs and sugar you consume have to go somewhere.
If you are doing activities that burn a lot of calories, it can help increase your natural metabolism to burn calories fat naturally, but it either has to be burned or stored.
You are what controls whether you are consuming more than what your body needs. Your body just deals with your decisions as best it can.
