Biology is complexity out of simplicity. Those mere chemical processes you deride involve enzymes, hormones, feedback mechanisms, homestasis, all working together. The simplest bacterium is more complex than any machine we ever made.
And enzymes, hormones and feedback mechanisms all are chemical compounds which react with each other. But even chemical compounds don’t exist like this but are just another model based on abstraction.
