I'm completely on board with you. Work is an important social outlet and I have co-workers who share the same sentiment.
I will just add an anecdote that at my company (Google) the office life has returned back to something like normality and I find myself talking with my deskmates, going to lunch, etc quite often. Perhaps the issue is with the company you work for and the answer would be to move to a less-remote friendly company.
