When I create a monster and chose a CR, why is the monster not auto updated to the new CR changes that come with the new CR? It is absurd that it doesn't update giving me a place to start for edits.
I have purchased Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, and Warforged is missing from Create Monster
Also, why doesn't the Create Monster form have a space for loot/items/treasure?
The current homebrew monster tools require you to calculate CR yourself, using the method described in the Dungeon Master's Guide. However, the dev team will be working on a tool called the Monster Builder soon, which will have a number of cool features, including the ability to calculate CR and scale monsters appropriately.
Warforged are a player character race and the Wayfarer's Guide to Eberron sourcebook doesn't provide any monster stat blocks for them.
Create monster homebrew, as above, is just for monsters, however I believe that the Encounter Builder tool, will have the ability to set treasure for encounters.
Changing the CR does change the monster's proficiency bonus and is automatically applied to saves. The monster builder doesn't automate skills or actions yet.
And update is planned for tge monster builder at some point (it's on the road map). I imagine most of your concerns will be addressed in that update.
