Humans and all mammals only need milk from their own species until their infancy is over and then thats it, done and done. No other species drinks another species' milk... It has no health benefit.
"But you need calcium to blah blah blah"... Nope, we're all good don't worry.
The worst shit is how the milk industry insists that dairy is an "essential food group" when really it's no better than junk food.

You're right that we don't "need" milk. We also don't "need" meat. We don't "need" a lot of foods. Our bodies can survive without a lot of stuff and make up for it in other areas.
But to say it has no health benefit is just silly. Sure we get calcium from other areas, but it doesn't mean it has no benefit. Milk has Vitamin D, something those of us in the Northern states need. It is high in protien and vitamins. There's a reason you see bodybuilders loading up on their milkshakes following a workout.
There's a ton of stuff that milk helps. Sure their marketing slogans are overdone and you technicality don't need it to live a healthy lifestyle. But drinking it is still good for you.
