They had stoneworking tools, they knew about lapping, it's not that amazing to me, given they had plenty of time and labor to spend.There are constraints here that you are overlooking. The "surfaces" or faces as we call them in geometry, are relatively fixed for each block.
One can have blocks with flat faces carved by hand, but the chances of a row of such blocks lying in a straight line is very slim and the chances of another row placed above that, also being a straight line is pretty much nil.
You'd have a very good point IF all the blocks were the same size and shape, but they are not.
