People seem to misunderstand evolution in general. It's not some intelligent force, stripping the bits off we don't need. It's primarily driven by sexual selection, and hair is one of our most_*prominent_* means of making ourselves attractive to the opposite sex. In fact the hair around our head has likely grown more prominent over time, as long hair on women and beards on men have been heavily associated with status and attractiveness for most of history.
The major mistake people make is associating the primary pressures of evolution on asocial animals (the ability to find food and endure environmental conditions) apply to social creatures, or humans in particular, to anywhere near the same extent. Generally the humans who have produced the most offspring have often had very little need to find their own food, because they have others doing that for them.
