Since bacteria thrives in damp, warm places, wouldn't our hands be the perfect place after washing them?? They would still be damp and wet after we washed them.

Sure, if your hands STAY damp for long periods of time. A few minutes' wetness is not long enough to develop an ecosystem, after all. But if you put your wet hands in some gloves where they can't dry out, then you may have something...
Which is really why people tend to have smelly underarms and feet. Both those regions have renewing moisture from sweat and usually little exposure to airflows to help them dry out. So you get all kinds of things which like that environment, move in, and produce unpleasant-smelling waste products.

No. Soap kills bacteria very well.
Soap has a hydrophobic side and a hydrophilic side. It is really good at tearing the bacteria into pieces, which is hard to evolve a way around.

Despite their apparent simplicity, bacteria can form complex associations with other organisms. These symbiotic associations can be divided into parasitism, mutualism and commensalism. Due to their small size, commensal bacteria are ubiquitous and grow on animals and plants exactly as they will grow on any other surface. However, their growth can be increased by warmth and sweat, and large populations of these organisms in humans are the cause of body odor. Or sweaty palms

That's true, but when you wash your hands with soap the soap has antibacterial substances in it.

The proper handwashing procedure involves a drying process at the end. I hope you are not in the foodservice industry. Dry your hands. (duh)

That's why you dry them.
