Why will Bitcoin stand the test of time? Why will it replace the wonderful pieces of polymer and cotton that we know and love?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I see this as a threat to consumerist society. There is no way easy credit could be lent if Bitcoin is really this rigid in its supply and becomes the de facto global currency.

How will the masses purchase massive amounts of clothes, toys, foodstuffs and cars?

A question is much like a troll, if you think about it.

They give bitcoins to shop. Shop gives massive amount of clothes, toys, foodstuffs and cars to customer. Purchase successful.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Except for banks.

Which is a good thing for us all, as well.
