According to some researchers we did.
There’s the Aquatic Ape Theory, which claims we went through an aquatic stage during the time of Australopithecus. Homo Erectus Javacus lived in frequently flooded savannahs.
The Semliki archaic homo sapiens from Africa have been described as semi=aquatic. Their unique limb ratio is seen only in modern Andaman Islanders, who have some
amphibious qualities.
15,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Bajo sea gypsies aquired a gene that helps them to swim to great depths and hold their breath longer than any other people on earth. They also have introgression from extinct hominids who may have been semi-aquatic.
Why didn’t some humans evolve to be water creatures?
