Isn't the growth of entropy preventing this already at the macro scale? Isn't it similar to the loss of information, because it's a transition from a less-probable state to a more-probable state?

I mean essentially, quantum physics only works if information can't be destroyed.

I mean, yes, things like The Arrow of Time, Entropy, our entire understanding of black holes, most of quantum mechanics.
