why most animals seem have a large number of sensory systems that are close to the brain?

Think of it like plumbing in a house. Generally most faucets and fixtures are close to each other to save on resources. Sure sometimes things get branched out as necessary but why bother moving the eyes down to the butt unless the majority of some hypothetical sexual deviant species really got off on Butt-eyes.
Sensory systems transfer tons of information, which requires thick neural medium. That fragile, enrgy consuming and takes a lot of space ( which make it more fragile). Thick nerves also will expirience a lot of stress and noise from muscle systems, that will require more brain activity from brain to filter signals, that even more wasted energy
Worth to mention humans ( and many other animals) has several neural systems beyound brain. Eg intestine has very advanced neural system, which governs only that part of body
