Should we not mimic migrating birds’ biology as closely as possible instead of trying to engineer airplanes for transatlantic flight that are only very loosely inspired in the animals that actually fly?

We can do both, birds are incredibly efficient, but I don't think our materials science and flight controls are advanced enough to mimic them yet.

Also for transonic and supersonic, I don't bird tech will ever reach those speeds.

Exactly this! If you wanted to make something bird-like in capability, we aren't even close! Planes do things birds can't do, but birds also do things planes can't do! ML is great at things humans aren't very good at yet, but terrible at things humans are still good at (brain efficiency)
