Trump might be 4 years younger than Biden but to me Biden appears to be healthier and to have more vitality and energy. I do think both are “too old” for the job in an absolute sense but if I were concerned about age I would be more concerned about Trump, quite honestly.
With that said the actual answer to your question is “because these are the choices.” It’s not a good answer but it’s the answer we have.

Go look at some Obama before and after pictures. Presidents greately age while in office, and there should be a dis qualifier in place when candidates get too old. There is no way that Biden can handle the stress that comes with being President, and therefore I will safety assume that he'll be a good puppet.
You are right that the answer is what it is. Election after election we get treated to the lowest common denominator when it comes to candidate quality in politics. That is true for both Canada & the US.
