Okay, so, I'm not going to say the Tower of Babel was a real thing that existed, but this is ignoring the point of the mythological story.
Nimrod believed in God, but considered himself to be his equal. He built the Tower of Babel so he could challenge God. By compelling people to participate in its construction, Nimrod was essentially making people turn away from God to trust in their own strength, and defy his command to spread around the world and multiply. God responded by confounding their languages and forcing them to scatter, and destroyed the tower to humble them.
It wasn't that they were trying to reach the heavens. It's why they did it. A bunch of bronze age savages thought they could do the impossible. Thousands of years later, after the advent of Newtonian physics, and a World War which showed mankind why they needed to quit acting like apes fighting over a banana tree, Man was ready to reach the heavens. Not to prove he was better than God, but to better understand His creation.
I'm not even a Bible-thumping Christian and I know this. Even if you don't take the story literally as an actual historical event, there's a lesson and warning against the folly of unchecked ambition and people concerting toward impossible goals doomed to disaster. Reaching the heavens is possible, but not before you're ready.
Cautionary tales against trying to do things before you're ready are common in mythology. The story of Bellerophon trying to fly on Pegasus to Mount Olympus is one such story.
