death balances things out by replacing the old with the new.

Not quite. The fear of death creates cultures. The idea of making your children belief in the same things you do or adopt the same culture you do is a form of immortality. If we can't go on living then our symbolism will go on living via making the children a carbon copy of ourselves. The children in turn will make their children a carbon copy.
This of course will generate aggression and violence because if there are two different views in such a way they both can't be right then battle will result, in which case deaths will result via the battles. All this because of the anxiety of death in other words the death of your culture which you will fight to prevent and fight to keep it immortal.
