If we already know the conditions of various planets and moons, why can’t we recreate them on Earth to use to build probes for them?

I was under the impression that planets like Jupiter or Saturn are too stormy, with no real surface to land on and gravity too strong. It would make trying to go into these planets a very expensive thing to do for not much we don’t already know.

Although I’m not sure about moons like Ceres, or Europa and Ganymede? You would think it would be pretty easy to land a probe on one of those planets.
