If pitchers don't get tired warming up, there's no real reason not to keep someone warming up all game every game in real life, right? So why don't teams do that?

It's because real pitchers do get tired warming up and the more they warm up, the more tired they get. Even if they sit down once they're warm, the process of just getting warm again once they've cooled off multiple times is tiring in and of itself and surely it's more tiring the more often you do it. There has to be a point where that would become the equivalent of actually pitching in a game for however many innings.
This is all in the thread already. Did you do your homework, Lukas?
