Can someone explain why you can't get gold from copper? There has to be at least one chemical reaction that makes this possible

No chemical reaction can change the number of protons in a nucleus. You need a nuclear reaction for that.

"we" can transmute shit to gold but costs a fuckton more than what you get in the end. but not via chemical reactions

What would be like nuking a mountain to modify (meaningfully) the Earth inner core.

goldfish + Cu -> Au + copperfish

Goldberg + cu + be + 2 ice --> gold + icecube + iceberg

ok, I just looked it up and copper has 29 protons and gold 79. Can't you just figure out a chemical reaction where 3 copper atoms combine some of its protons to get an atom of 79 protons in the end?

no, because thats not how chemistry works by definition. it takes way more energy to fling and manipulate protons around than electrons.
