Basically so we don't eat it. The smell is naturally offensive to humans so most of us have no urge to eat poop.

Some animals like the smell and will eat it.

Well, the thing that actually gives it that poop smell is sulfur compounds and e-coli, and yeah, most likely the reason it smells so bad is to help you know to not fucking eat it or have it on you. Carnivore shit tends to smell worse than herbivore because A) more sulfur and ammonia in their diets because of how accumulation works and B) less efficient digestions. Its also possible that you smell it stronger to help you keep away from areas with shit that eats you and which is less good for you to eat, but this is speculation. That said, making other animals like your poop is a valid strategy, especially for predators, which is why virtually every cat carries toxoplasmosis, which can make infected rodents more attracted to the smell of cat urine and poop.

Anything crawling with bacteria smells horrible as a kind of aversion to make us avoid something potentially infectious which is often lethal if untreated.

The bacteria that pick on a human corpse is the worst smell because that's your brain saying "something that can kill a human is over there. Stay the fuck away from it"

Well no it's not the same for everything. Some animals like the smell of things that kill humans.

Maybe it just smells bad cause it did, and there was never any random mutation to have...good smelling poop. But the main answer will probably just be that the bacterias involved smell
