Patients with CIPA are at severe risk of anything from infection to brain damage. Not feeling the pain does not mean you have not been injured. You may have a wound, broken bone, or concussion that needs immediate medical attention, and not know it. CIPA patients regularly have to check their bodies for injury, from scrapes to burns to biting their tongues off in their sleep. I am getting the impression that you think we should develop immortality, rather than insensitivity to pain.
