Qualified is the bare minimum required. I am talking about overall not this pilot, flight or incident. But the fact remains I want the best pilot possible flying my plane just like the best doctor operating in me. Nothing else matters.
You will never get the best doctor for all procedures unless you research them all, are willing to travel, and your insurance accepts them.

So all the airlimes are going to track when am1 is flying and assign the 2 best pilots to your flight? This makes no sense. Likewise, you are never going to to get the best Dr. operating on you.
You can want as much as you want, but what you want doesn't matter. As I stated, this is not how it works. Passengers don't get to pick their pilot and never will. Only allowing the best pilot to fly your (other any other ) flight does not improve safety. It is a completely unworkable system, and would make flying less safe if it even could occur, for the reasons I stated previously.

How do you know who is the best doctor?

But let's say that you could ascertain that - that doesn't mean that you can get treatment from that doctor. If that is the best doctor, and everyone knows that is the best doctor, you can be pretty sure that doctor is completely full and not accepting new patients. Or if they are, they will be charging high enough rates that they are not going to be in network on any carrier.

Now let's say that you could similarly ascertain who is the best pilot. How are you going to ensure that pilot will be flying the plane when you make the reservation? What do you do if that pilot flies for United, but United doesn't serve the airports where you need to go.

What you are saying sounds wonderful. In practice it is completely unrealistic.
