Good question, I hadn't really thought about it much. I'm just jealous of dogs, who can eat and breathe simultaneously. Evolution dropped our larynx down low so that we can talk, but evolution only does the best it can with what it has to work with, and a magical redesign could theoretically do better. I wouldn't mind a blowhole, as it would make snorkeling a lot easier!
