So just because I can't remember the details they all blur together to form a point and that is what all our experiences are about and that's how we learn? We never really forget anything?

The answer is no. The brain specifically functions to not only forget minor details but also to not take them in to begin with. If you took notice of every detail of every situation all the time, e.g. the buzzing of the lights, the feel of your clothes against your skin, a certain taste in your mouth, you'd go crazy and have no ability to concentrate. In fact, there are certain people who lack this ability to tune things out and this leads to a variety of mental disorders.

might be helpful if you witnessed a crime. I think more often it's good to forget a lot of details. Especially about being in pain or angry at someone.

no, if we remembered ever sight/sound/smell/sensation, our memory's capacity would be filled up before we could walk to the end of a city block...
we have evolved so that we remember what's important, and lose what isn't

No...that is not normal and many details are just not worth remembering.
