Serotonin is the hormone what makes us happy, so why aren’t we just injecting it into our body/taking it as tablets to get out of misery on command?

We are, kind of.
This is how anti-depression medication works. Current anti-depressants are SSRI type drugs which means ‘selective serotonin re-uptake Inhibitors’.
Basically our brains release serotonin naturally and these drugs stop it being reabsorbed, thereby increasing our expose to it and having a similar effect to what you are asking about.
