>Why are toons going through this shit?
We don't know with 100% certainty. The leading theory is they get recreated by Dandy using ichor with falsely implanted memories. This theory is supported by the in game dialogue between many toons showing that they are at their breaking point and ready to jump Dandy at any moment.
>They never really react to their situation or how close they are to death
More of the false memories theory, it would easily be explained by implanting them with memories of coming back from their expeditions in one way or another. We do know with certainty that they feel pain when they're attacked.
>They should just enjoy retirement with their handlers
The entirety of the complex has been abandoned and isolated after "the incident" became too obvious to hide. We do not know how longs its been since humans last set foot in the premises.
