The body parts concerned are very complicated, and would take many months or years to regenerate. Moreover, they would consume a huge amount of that organism's bodily resources (protein, energy, minerals, etc.) and make them unable to live as they must to survive.

Regrowing body parts would be useful if the body part was lost. They regrow them because since they were lost, they may need them again.

Because in more complex organisms are there very complex organs ...made up of different tissues and of different cells...because of this very complex structure regeneration can't happen.
