The vocal cords are at the very top of the trachea. The space between them is open during inhalation, when the space is called the glottis.
Matt A is right about everything else, but he forgot this one detail, which I believe is the answer you are looking for.

Fish don't have noses, 'cos fish don't "breathe". But you are correct that the nose is thought to have evolved at least partly to allow breathing and eating at the same time (and having two possible breathing routes is an obvious advantage for avoiding suffocation). I like you're "smelling food" explanation too: in fact, *most* of the "flavour" of our food is smelled - our tastebuds can only detect 5 flavours (salty, sour, bitter, sweet and umami [savoury]); this is why everything tastes of cardboard when we have a bad cold.
