Why would the alien be stupid if it is the perfect organism? I don't think of the alien as stupid as much as I do with how stupid the writers and directors are who depict it in the later sequels

At the risk of sending the conversation down a tangent inappropriate to a statue form, biological perfection and stupidity are two entirely unrelated things. Many insects for example have not evolved along any vector in tens of millions of years, having reached the biological pinacle of what the form and function nature has ascribed to them long ago. To put it another way, nature has not found it necessary to further evolve the form in that time: this is perfect.
Do these things step on each others heads and do other "stupid" things? Absolutely.
Stupidity is always a relative term and never objective. A sparrow may be stupid by our standards, but guess what, we make a pretty ***** stupid sparrow, so that works in both directions.
The adaptability and survival qualities of the creature have given it a tremendous range in environments that it can thrive within, irrespective in many cases of native species. Hence why Ash decided to call it the perfect organism - From a scientific perspective.
Or did he? Maybe he just liked it for personal reasons and dubbed it "perfect" completely arbitrarily.
Humans beat the hell out of eachother at a rate of millions a day across the globe, then murder, war, pollute our own environment to our own detriment; how stupid is that?
Not much of a yard stick.
