Why do humans lose their baby teeth?

So, why do we lose our baby teeth anyway? I mean, they seem fine for a few years, then they just fall out! Why can’t we just keep the same ones forever? How does this whole tooth-replacement process work?

Underneath each baby tooth, adult teeth start to develop. These new teeth dissolve the roots of the baby teeth, causing them to become loose and eventually fall out.
