Eye orientation isn't really a valid indicator of predatory nature.
Panda bears eat nothing but fuckin plants, then you have the primates (bonobos, chimps, lemurs, gorillas) that eat like 90% plants, insects, eggs, shit that's easy to catch... fruit bats, etc
Again, what we supposedly "evolved to eat" has ZERO RELEVANCY to this discussion. It was only within the last 100 years that access to extremely good nutrition, driven largely by widespread access to protein-rich animal products (milk, eggs, meat) has contributed to a boom in height and IQ (and probably also cancer & heart disease).
The important consideration is that we don't need to brutalize animals to live a healthy life. We just do it because it's efficient.

Why wouldn't the evolution of diet matter? Its obvious we ate meat because plants would not have been plentiful enough and agriculture had not been developed. Maybe I am misunderstanding.
ETA : I agree on all your issues about humane treatment btw.
