If we could engineer and exterminate all ticks and mosquitos we'd all be so happy.
Mosquitos are pollinators.
Not all mosquitoes bite humans. If you exterminated the biting ones, the non-biting ones would just fill that same ecological niche.
Mosquitoes are the only natural predators of humans. If you mess with the delicate ecosystem, humans will procreate uninhibited and exhaust their resources, leading to a far worse fate. It's kinder to just leave the mosquitoes be, and let nature run its course.
