Training against the computer.

Chess engineChess
Why are the engines so overrated when we play against them in "play with the computer"?

From time to time, I like to play against computers just for fun. Once, I played against Stockfish Level 5 in a 5+0 blitz match. I saw its approximate rating as 2000, but it played like a 1500 max. This is the game I played against the computer:

I understand that a 2000 rated engine is programmed to not always play the best moves but some of its blunders were shockingly blatant. So please either change the approximate rating or the programming so that its rating can be more accurate.
If you have any answers to my question, I'll be glad to hear them :)
