What they lack is sapience; knowledge, the ability for self-thought. The ability to understand the world around them beyond simple instinct and learned behaviour.

It is the ability to understand that makes it so a non-sapient entity would be unlikely to have foresight; without the ability to understand it would be far beyond unlikely for it to have such an ability.

We know the Grimm are more than capable of avoiding fights instead of rushing blindly and trying to kill whoever they can, precisely because they know they could get killed. They can predict the possible outcome, and thus they have Foresight.

We know the Grimm are more than capable of waiting and even avoiding fights they are likely to win, instead choosing to wait for a more effective, greater oportunity. They have the capability of self-thought, at least to that extent.

You speak of Grimm as if they were simple animals, Phantom, but they're not. They look like animals, sound like animals, but the more Volumes pass, the more obvious it is that they're not animals, neither biologically or mentally.
