If we’re able to create the illusion of the 3rd dimension on our 2-dimensional screens, why aren’t we able to simulate/create the illusion of the 4th dimension in our 3-dimensional world?

As many others have already stated, it’s because we can’t really comprehend 4D. If we were to encounter it our brains would have no idea what to do with the information and we may not process anything at all. Flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott explains it fantastically, and is overall a great quick read.
