Whats the point of studying and getting better at chess when lifeless engines can beat you?

this remark does not apply only to chess, you must answer it: imagine losing life to the running to be defeated by a car?

Why lift weights when you can just get a car lift, why run when you can drive, why paint or draw when you can take pictures that are instant and will always be more accurate? Why do anything at all? This sort of nihilistic approach will more or less deter you from doing anything as a hobby, and if you're really lucky, you might be one of the few that can make a living off it

I had a conversation with one of my friend, we've talked about chess, he said he knows the rule but he doesn't play it.
I told him to play chess with me. He said sure! We then played chess and out of those two games I played with him on chess.com he completely destroyed me. When I analyze our games he had 0 blunders 0 mistakes 0 innacuracies. He was cheating.
When I confronted him , he said "Imagine wasting your life on chess only to be defeated by an engine." He then told me that theres no point of me studying chess and Im just wasting my time, my dedication, my life for it and there are better productive things I should be doing rather than chess.
This kind of discouraged me. What should I tell him? Any good comebacks?

The person who told you this is clearly dishonest and doesn't realize the value of hard work or getting better at something. They are not your friend, so just kick them to the curb and surround yourself with people who support you.
