How come our body dislikes an outside temperature of 98° F?

Our bodies are on average 98.6°, right? Why do we sweat profusely and dislike hot temperatures? Wouldn’t our bodies have to work less and use less energy to keep an internal temperature of 98.6°?

Your skin temp is considerably lower than 98.6 degrees. If the air is the same heat as your body temp, your body has no way to cool itself by transferring heat to the air via sweat and exhaling warm air
