Fish Plural ... What the heck ?

Some times you wonder why people would have created things that complicate life. I am sure there must be reasons when it happened. But looking back you may not be able to comprehend why we follow such a thing today. One such that came to my mind is the use of singular and plural. Most of the things we add "s" or "es" to convert singular to plural but there are exceptions right. Why was that required in the first place and why can't that be changed today.
You know what I mean ? Why can't the plural for Fish be Fishes ? This will make teaching easy and will make it easy for people to remember right?
