I believe the reason is that people wanted to know evil and therefore were expelled to this first death.

It depends on are you righteous or not. If you are righteous, you go back to eternal life with God.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Matt. 25:46
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Our origin.
We were created by God as physical humans to live on this planet forever. Fallen man came about because Adam turned against God and didn't obey Him. So that is why we are in our present corrupt state.

Our mortal state
We are in our mortal state because of the disobedience of Adam. "...In Adam all are dying..." (I Corinthians 15:22)

Our eternal ultimate destiny
Our destiny is what God originally planned for us, to live on this beautiful planet forever. He said that whatever He plans to do will not return to Him without results. (Isaiah 55:11) So His original plans will be fulfilled. He made the earth for a reason. (Isaiah 45:18) There are many passages in the Bible showing what our bodies and environment will be after Jesus takes control of the world:

"Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor." (Job 33:25)

"And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. They will not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:6-9, NASB)

"The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; a banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine." (Isaiah 25:6, NASB)

"No resident will say 'I am sick.' The people that are dwelling in the land will be those pardoned for their error." (Isaiah 33:24)

"The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron." (Isaiah 35:1)

"At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the wilderness and streams in the Arabah [desert plain]." (Isaiah 35:5,6, NASB) Bracket mine.

"And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage." (Isaiah 65:21)

"And they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble..." (Micah 4:4)
