There is plenty of value that isn't exchanged for money.
There's child bearing, cooking, cleaning, friendship, neighbors sharing tools, neighbors watching for thieves, neighbors watering your garden while you're away, wise old people giving wisdom, extended family members babysitting children on date night, friendship, love letters, singing Christmas carols, helping someone in an emergency, someone playing with you on a sports team, someone playing against you on a sports team, helping a friend when they fail, helping someone study for a test, defending your little brother from a bully and much much much much more.
I feel sorry for you if you think the world and society should be reduced to being only transactional. That's not a world I want to live in. Not all work can be scaled and commodified to create surplus (see the above list). Productivity and surplus increases through improved efficiency can only be applied to a portion of the real economy. Those sectors are what capitalists prefer to talk about and spend their energy developing. There are people, particularly women, who are busy doing the important work in a society and are less able to participate in your aggressive and adversarial economic fight to the death.
The lowering birth rates in our society is likely caused by your putting a money price on everything. The work that women prefer to do has been devalued under capitalism even though nothing else could be more important.
