...and our ears 'filter' it when we are exposed to the sound, then if we used an ear shaped mic distribution to 'pre-filter' it, what finally got to our ears would not be representative of the original sound. It would be like listening through serial sets of ears.

The goal of the Hi FI is to recreate the original sound. Your ears will do what they are going to do when you hear that. "Pre-filtering" would then essentially 'double filter' what made it to your ear drum, removing you even further from sonic accuracy.
