Present perfect or simple past

Why is it better to use simple past than present perfect in the first six sentences?

1.Did you win the game of chess?
2.Did you see Ann?
3.Did you call Jane?
4.When did you join the company?
5.Did you watch her new movie?
6.Did you watch the new movie?

You haven't listened to a word, I have said. (Is correct according to the test, but is simple past also possible?)

Answer

For items 2 and 3, it is not true that the simple past is preferable. Without any contextual signs that the "see" and "call" actions happened in the past, the present perfect would be "better."
