Gilgamesh and Enkidu were perfectly made for each other, and that is what caused Gilgamesh to grieve so intensely. In the brief amount of time they spent together they built an intense friendship, even forming it into a brotherhood. Enkidu was made to be Gilgamesh's foil and he plays his part perfectly, so losing him was like Gilgamesh losing his other half.

Why is Gilgamesh so paranoid about the concept of life and death due to his arrogant assumptions about immortality?

Gilgamesh is ruined by the death of his friend. By this event, his view on death changes drastically and his trauma begins an obsession with the concept of eternal life so that maybe he wouldn't suffer the same fate as his close brother.

He can't accept his position because his friend Enkidu was just as strong as him and killed the Bull of Heaven, and still died. Gilgamesh does not want his life's achievements to be pointless when he dies.

The reason he is incapable of getting rid of the despair and emptiness in his heart is because he has no objective purpose in life. This blocks his path in attaining satisfaction and happiness. He can only try to entertain himself with made up purposes that will not make him content.
