They are there because the water is full of life giving resources and they have evolved to be able to use them. And as you know water covers most of the Earth.

Originally, according to Darwins theory, all things originated in the sea. Fish started as small organisms and over the years things evolved. some things went on land, some stayed in the water.. some turned into whales, some turned into fish.. blah blah blah blah.. you get it..They evolved to live there basically...

Fish have gills which allows them to breath underwater and most cannot survive long in the air.

that is where they live. They probably lived on land once upon a time but now they live in water because they evolved.

Fish do not have lungs. They use gills to extract air from water.
Also, they smell so bad that they would cause air pollution. ;-)

fish live underwater because they don't like living with humans

They need to develop lungs to live up here. Anyway, they seems to be happy where they are.
