Why aren't undead immune to poison?

All undead should be immune to poison, except the necromancers. You shouldn't be able to affect ghosts in any way, except by magic or astral damage (so no poison, fire, frost, melee or projectile damage).

Flying creatures shouldn't be affected by the giant's jump. Machines should be completely immune to poison damage too, as well as more resistant to physical and fire dmg. Cyclops should have like 70 phys resist. Basically all creatures' resistances should be much higher in order to make more sense (ent to physical, polar bears and most vikings to frost, plants to poison, fairies to magic etc.) And I'm sure there are other possibilities.

I agree that it makes sense what you say,, for a zombie to be immune to poison and for a polar bear to be resistant to cold. But the bad part of all of this is that it would make the game even more easier which I don't think is desireable. For example when you would fight phisical damage dealing armies, simply take some hugely resistant creatures to phisical and you beat them with ease.
