To think stamp duty is an absolute scam

Why do we have to pay huge amounts in tax just to change our home?

My father is elderly. To allow me to look after him at home, I am going to sell my family home with my two small children to buy somewhere he can fit too. It'll save the state a fair chunk in care fees. But because we're in the SE England, it'll cost me about £50k in stamp duty. Just to change upsize my family home. What the actual fuck.
