I think by now everyone is tired of Kim Jong-un and his silly threats. Why don't we just take him out , give North Korea to South Korea. Then get rid of Raul Castro and Maduro.

Because we can't just give land to anyone we want.
For starters, I hold true to the much older idea that problems in other countries are not our responsibility. I do not believe that we have the right to waltz in to North Korea, topple their [unbelievable ****ty] government, and then just hand the land over to South Korea. Everyone has a right to self government, and as much as the North Korean government is taking that away from it's people, that doesn't mean some foreign power (us) can decide we know what's best for them.
Per the more pragmatic, less ideological issue, it's not nearly as simple as you just made it. An invasion of North Korea would not be over in a day. We'd attack, and they would have time to retaliate. And let's be clear, they could probably do so before we actually even landed. In that time, they could fire artillery into Seoul. Now, we could evacuate the city, but North Korea would notice that, and begin firing during the evacuation (since they'd know the only reason we'd evacuate South Korea's capital is to defend the people living there from a North Korean retaliation to our invasion).
They could also fire missiles at both South Korea and Japan, who are our allies. Some of our best in the region. I believe South Korea is in our top 5 trading partners, and I'd imagine Japan is up there as well. And make no mistake, a military operation against North Korea would almost certainly implicate them, which would have major economic impacts.
And it wouldn't be just the three of us. We all trade with countries all over the world. A full scale war would cause a global economic depression, or at least a recession.
Is any of this worth it because Kim sometimes throws a tantrum, but ultimate does actually do anything? I don't think so.

Why do you think that we are entitled to take someone out, to destroy a country for our need and get rid of the leaders of another country? Are we the standard of the human morality and the world' judge? Are we the Vicar of God on earth? Or, we are just a bunch of ignorant and arrogant egoistic people that assume the whole world must serve us and our interests, otherwise they are bad guys?
If the the US wouldn't have bullied NK with military drills nearby them, NK wouldn't have threatened to launch their missiles. Just leave NK alone and the current crisis will disappear itself.
