logical fatal bug

First of all, we assume that this alien species is really so smart that it can disguise itself as a person, instantly learn human culture, and inherit the victim's way of speaking. It is also really worn. For example, I don't know the exact number of keys, and I don't know whether the earrings are on the left or right, so I guess it can inherit most of the memory, but I can't grasp some details.
Secondly, why hide among humans, there are many opportunities, it can easily kill unsuspecting people around it, and obviously, the aliens later developed into multiple individuals, and they do not suffer in terms of destructive power and number. , why do you have to disguise yourself as a human while escaping to the spaceship after killing everyone without paying attention?
Again, in theory, aliens are replicating victims, not absorbing victims, as evidenced by the fact that the scientist with the cut throat at the end of the movie remains in the base's chair (the replica dies in the alien ship), But if so, why was Adam absorbed as a Siamese?
Finally, can't aliens replicate inorganic matter? This is the biggest flaw. Because the people it copies all have clothes, are the clothes organic? At the end of the film, since the alien who copied the pilot's co-pilot knows how to pick up the co-pilot's flamethrower to enhance his camouflage, why not take off the co-pilot's earring and wear it? Since it completely replicates the co-pilot, it should understand that the co-pilot has a hole in one of his ears...

In the end, the plot is so predictable that I predict three key plot developments: 1. I know that Juliet (female No. 2) is disguised by aliens; 2, I know that two people with flame guns shouted "kill them" when they held each other, and the guy who was knocked flying was disguised by aliens; 3, near the end, a Putting the close-up of the co-pilot earrings, I knew that he must be copied and worn because of the earrings.

So, I really want to rate the "poor" ones.
