Why does the body opt to build new red blood cells


This question is out of curiosity.

The life expectancy of a red blood cell (RBC) is approximately 3 months, and then RBCs are disposed of.

Problem:

Question: Why does the body opt to build new red blood cells rather than using the existing ones?

Question: Do RBCs lose functionality/efficiency as they get older?

could someone explain this to me?
