There's good evolutionary reasons for babies to not possess a copy of the parents brains. It allows for much better adaptation to the current surroundings, and thus better survival of the species.

No, fission. Each generation is made of progressively lighter atoms until they're just balls of hydrogen, the true end goal of all sentient species.
