Why? Wouldn't it be much easier if you will drive sitting in the middle of your car? Please, no "I don't know"answers.

Because most commercially-sold cars are designed to carry passengers. A family sedan that seats just 3 people wouldn't sell very well. :-D
There are cars that have center-body cockpits, such as race cars like Formula 1 that do not need to carry passengers, just the driver.

A car with the driver seat in the middle of the car would be a waste of space in your vehicle, don't you think? Personally I would rather maximize the amount of space in my car.

Usually, cars have the stearing wheel on the side closest to the oncoming traffic so the driver can see to pass slower vehicles in the same lane.

So you can have company in the front section with you. So you are not lonely. Plus it makes distributing the instrumentation cluster and gear shifter easier.
Also, there are several cars on the market that have center drive configurations.

It's a car, not a jet fighter.
Although, driving thru rush-hour traffic in Miami does require 20mm cannons and sidewinder missiles.
