While there is obviously a lot of military restricted airspace around Nellis, China Lake, and Irwin, the planned route takes the flight 100s of miles further south than necessary.

They are following charted airway routes designated by the FAA. These routes exist to help manage air traffic, ensure accurate navigation, and avoid collisions. Few if any direct routes exist between airports.

Yes, that too. It'd be much more convenient if we could drive in a straight line to our destination, but roads were built for a reason! Air traffic is no different.
