What good are humans? or Judaism, Islam and Christianity?
I'll assume you meant the three major religions.
It's not the job of any of those three religions to make humans perfect. As a Christian, I can tell you that we struggle against the influences of the world to live Godly lives. That's it. No perfection involved, rather, an admission of imperfection to God.

We all have a chance to be perfect. In the Bible God commands the Christians to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is also perfect (Matthew 5:48)
"I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me." John 17:23
"Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." 2 corinthians 7:1
"Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." Colossians 1:28
"But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:4
"For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body." James 3:2
It is possible for a human to be perfect. God would not ask/command us to do something that we could not. With Jesus Christ's help, we can be made perfect, we can be washed clean of all sin and strive to live a perfect life.
When you are sinless, you are perfect. The moment you sin, you are full of sin, but if you repent of these sins, God will forgive you
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
You're right, Christianity, Jadaism and Islam cannot make a person perfect, only Christ's precious blood can do that.
"having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." Colossians 2:14

I think you mis stated your question and the important point is not to be perfect, but to move in that direction and being forgiven for mistakes is an important thing to have on that trip. If you try to lose weight you will learn how important it is to forgive mistakes and start new instead of dwelling on the mistake which lowers your strength to continue.

humans are imperfect, will never be perfect, but still without religions, not only will they be imperfect but also monsters, so as you see religions try to make us "close" to perfection.

religion is not here to make a man perfect... but to give him hope and strenght to live with his flaws... life would be so much harder if there was no God!
