With an excellent V/STOL capability in the F-35B, why does the Navy
still demand those giant carriers?

Because they also plan to operate aircraft like the E2 Hawkeye
and F-18E

Seems like something can be done
there to make the whole system more efficient. Why design a plane
(the F-35C) to fit their ships?

Because they already gave the ships.
