R help - Jan 2022 - How to convert category (or range/group) into continuous ?

Hi R users,
I first categorized the continuous data into groups (ranges or category)
but now I would like to change the category into a continuous data and
plot it. For example I have attached the data in which you can see two
columns named "group" and "value". The group column contains
a range
(group, for example ), I am wondering how I can change the category data
(for example: "0,0.01]" )into continuous data with a 0.1 interval.
Thank you for your suggestions.

daT<-structure(list(group = c("(0,0.01]", "(0.01,0.025]",
"(0.025,0.05]",
"(0.05,0.075]", "(0.075,0.1]", "(0.1,0.2]",
"(0.2,0.3]", "(0.3,0.4]",
"(0.4,0.5]", "(0.5,0.6]", "(0.6,0.7]",
"(0.7,0.8]", "(0.8,0.9]",
"(0.9,1]", "(1,1.1]", "(1.1,1.5]",
"(1.5,2]", "(2,2.5]"), VALUE = c(1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.944444444, 0.916666667, 0.888888889, 0.857777778,
0.826666667, 0.66, 0.439090909, 0.328636364, 0.273409091, 0.245795455,
 0.218181818, 0.084848485)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-18L))
thanks,
MW

IMO, this is a bad idea. You are asking how to fabricate information that
isn't there. You lost the information when you created the categories. Why
can you not just go back to your original data?
