What I always wonder is why we need to preserve human values like autonomy if we could produce better results without it? For example, if an AI could compute the absolute best way to perform a specific action then why is it a good thing to be able to choose a different way to perform the action?

'Better' is exactly why we'd want to retain (some) autonomy! I personally wouldn't want an AI to tell me exactly how to live my life.
