Similarly, who says I can't have a mind without a body? Won't it carry on existing in the mind of the Intelligent Designer?

Yes, but you cannot have a (human) mind without a body.
In a similar way, you cannot have e.g. Linux running without a PC,
and Linux doesn't have a CPU, HD, RAM, etc...
This has lead people to either aim at real world robotics as the only
way forward in AI, or at developing inside the computer complex
bodies and environments...
