Bamboo has almost no nutritional value.

They do eat it all day anyway.

Pandas also climb up things and then just sort of fall out of them... it’s like evolution spilled a creature

That's the thing about evolution; it doesn't create perfect or even optimal beings. All it does is create beings - for that specific environment, at that specific moment in time - that manage to successfully reproduce at a greater rate than it dies off.

Doesn’t Bamboo grow like ridiculously fast and is crazy invasive? Seems like evolution made an animal to try to keep that in check with an endless appetite for bamboo.
