We just happened to find out that milk has benefits only because we've evolved and we have higher intellect but other animals would drink milk from other species if they had a way to do it

Shadow · Answer

There is such a thing as cross species nursing (a momma dog nurses an orphaned kitten) but you do appear to be correct that this doesn't necessarily naturally occur.

Shadow · Answer

As for why, we're just the only ones who do or are capable of domesticating animals and being able to farm them for milk. There's examples of other species farming others (through mutually beneficial relationships) such as ants and aphids, but when it comes to mammals I think it just gets more tricky. More than likely it's because in the wild mammals and animals just look out for their own.
