But we read left to right and the most important part is furthest right hardest to read. It's convenient for computers sorting alphabetically, but bad for people reading it.

The most important part is the year.

Why? The year changes least quickly, (especially the decade) so you can often infer without needing it.

The same reason "one thousand" is written 1000 and not 0001

Because that's the way it's said? Dates are spoken day month year. Because you go more specific to more general.
