>If humans are just another animal why does nature specifically create food for us?
Your whole post is bait. But I'll reply for retards who come here and don't know the answer.
As for this particular line you mentioned, non-human primates (monkeys for example) can open bananas.
Your general question on why we have fruit in general has two key points. Firstly, we have domesticated and selectively bred fruit so that there is a greater proportion of nutritional content. In the past they used to have a higher proportion of seeds, before we selectively bred for less seeds.
Picture related is a wild banana. It has a higher proportion of seeds to nutrition.
Now if you're above average intelligence this will probably lead you to the correct conclusion.
Fruit evolved for animals to eat. Because animals can move, whereas trees cannot move. The animals eat the fruit (which contains a lot of seeds) then shit those seeds out somewhere else. This means that in nature: trees with genes for fruit with a lot of seeds will outperform trees with fruit without a lot of seeds.
But then why isn't the entire fruit made of seeds? Well because then animals wouldn't eat it. You can see non-human primates and other animals have learned how to check if a fruit is ripe or worth eating. In fact, this is suspected to be part, but not all, of why color vision evolved.
So this should answer your question overall. Fruit evolved by chance because plants which produced fruit containing seeds had more offspring than plants that didn't produce fruit.
Why don't fruits today contain a lot of seeds? Because humans have manipulated reproduction of these plants.
However, as you may surmise, evolution can produce fruit-bearing plants. If God is real, God could have made plants which produce fruit.
Whether God exists or not, there is a reason why fruit-bearing plants exist.
