Like why planet? Why sphere? Why is there a solar system? Why system instead of no system? How did entropy create anti-entropy agents? Bees, humans, anything that builds non-random structures?
Sorry if this is a bad question, it just popped into my head and it won’t go away.

Just wait, there won’t be in about 10^100 years. You’re right, the universe is increasing in entropy but very very slowly.
It seems like you’re thinking of entropy as a main driving force behind everything, where it’s not. Many processes create more complex things from less complex things, but ‘waste’ some energy in the process. It’s not a great analogy, but you could think of the universe as a block of marble. You can sculpt and carve it to form what you like, but every time you end up with less marble to work with.
The other thing is that there might be processes that can functionally “reverse entropy”. Our theories are limited to what we can observe, after all.
and if things do tend toward entropy, it sure makes the theory of evolution look pretty dumb ie, things starting at almost nothing but building up into complex living things
