You're going to have to pry my homemade kefir from my cold, dead hands!
Well Kefir is a good example of a fermented milk drink that more people should consume, instead of regular milk, really. It's got a nice bonus that any one can ingest it, including lactose-intolerant people.
This is large scale Matrix-like exploitation at its finest like only humans can do. Copying the genes of a single animal hundreds of thousands of times, killing the males at birth, plugging the females to a milking machine, feed them corn and soy which is totally not their natural diet and injecting them with tons of antibiotics, hormones and god knows what else. I wonder what could possibly go wrong? All completely…
This is real scary. One genetic flaw exploited by say a virus could wipe out the entire dairy industry.
Wait till you find out that all the world's cash crops are essentially genetic clones of each other. We're literally one superbug away from global famine.

Its also pretty similar to human milk, which has evolved to be a close-to-perfect source of nutrition.
For babies, not for adults. Adult animals in most species can't even drink milk, they can't digest it anymore past infancy. Biologically this means that the infant would release the mother so that they could have another child, so there is biological adaption on most species to not drink milk past a certain age. And we have it too via lactose intolerance, which is normal. However, some relatively small percentage of…

Well, kefir should really be made with unpasteurised milk the commercial ones are pasteurised.

as you go back in time, the tree of ancestors shrinks, so ultimately all cows in the world are descended from 2 cows, are they not?
It's not that simple. If you look back far enough, "cows" are descended from perhaps multiple species of "not really cows, yet". And the same is true for all of those species. So you never get back to two of any one species.

Milk is a very good source of calcium and it has nothing to do with lactose.
Modern milk is also a processed food, which brings a host of other negative associated factors.
