Shouldn't all candidates be independents representing their region, who then vote in the senate etc. and do whatever the f they want?

So then why do we have political parties? Am i naive or missing something?

Because political beliefs aren't random nor evenly distributed, they clump in memeplexes which manifest as religions and parties. I don't know why opinions on climate change and gun control are closely correlated, but they undeniably are connected and parties exploit this to win elections.
