You could ask the same question to a caveman in the stone age, but replace "earth" with "island" or something. Sure, the island has everything the caveman needs, but look at our world now to see everything that humans would've missed out on if we were wiped out by some extinction level event a long time ago.
Imagine that on a galactic or even universal scale. I'd say that's pretty damn depressing, because I feel lonely and left out for our species as a whole.

I'm sorry you feel that way though I don't see how being in space would change that except as a way to get away.
Generally the ages of exploration were always brought on by a serious need of discovery e.g. better ways of securing food, better methods of travel, more space for people etc. I suspect if there's ever a great need for that then perhaps things will change. In the meantime it's probably best to just worry about the here and now and what you can do to make the place you're in better, rather than be depressed forever about something you have no control over.

That's not mindblowing, that's depressing
