You know who else needs, and thus has salt? The bodies of virtually any other animal on planet Earth.
Actually, what’s even my point? Plenty of edible plants have salt in them. There’s salt in soil. There’s salt in ocean water. There’s salt in… grass. There’s salt friggin everywhere, and we are evolved to detect it quite easily. You sprinkle a tiiiny bit of this stuff on something and WHAM, changes the whole flavor profile. Sufficient salt intake was probably the least of our ancestor’s worries.
