ELI5: How do our eyes have such big dynamic range and why cant we replicate camera's with the same range?

Our eyes are not just looking at the scene, it is assessing what to focus on at any given nanosecond. So a picture attempts to force a perspective that "hey, look at the beauty of this evening sky, or the awesomeness of the football game" but it can't capture that. That's why other people posting pics of the Harvest Moon are so boring, or "the Beach." We don't just see with our eyes, we assess and analyze. That's why a person can be considered cortically blind; their eyes work, but their brain is damaged that where they would process the information so functionally they are blind. Pictures are a representation of our world.
