Then why doesn't the language let me describe what I want, and if reality disagrees, throws some compiling errors back?

Our current HDLs are lower level than block diagrams. And anything higher level they may claim to provide is iffy and won't work on practice. That's not a problem with the languages, but it is a problem for hardware development.
