Why is it necessary to understand how brains work?

I don't know much about AlphaGo.
I doubt it can explain how it works.
But it obviously does work.

Where are images stored,

Who cares?
Likely they are distributed throughout a brain in ways that it is not necessary for anyone or anything to understand.

and how can one recognize and name one of
maybe a million storted images in a fraction of a second?

Have you not used Google Images?

You know about analog computing
So big neural networks are basically imitations of the analog brain.
But you can do a lot in hardware such as storing the 'weights' and vector multiplication. communication.
My suggestion is for you, just as a free time project, code some neural net.
Or at least look up how it works:

OTOH my opinion is that our brain stores memory in RNA and DNA, strong hint is that
newborn species of many types know how the move, find food, interpret what they see and feel, etc.
Recent research found that in those neurons some data is stored in such a basic form as RNA,
