Why wouldn’t a regionally accredited college accept a college that is nationally accredited’s transcripts for a student to transfer?

Accreditation just means that some other organization (an accreditor) has investigated the ciricuulum at the school and declared that it is up to their standards. In the US, accredidation is not really a government thing, and there are lots of different accreditors with different methods and standards. The school receiving the transfer might not care about the opinion of the accreditor of the school sending the transfer.
Even if they did, accredidation applies to schools or programs as a whole, not classes. Suppose the first school covers calculus in “Math 1” and statistics in “Math 2”, but the second school teaches a mixture of calculus and statistics across 2 Math classes. A transfer with Math 1 from the first school might not be prepared for Math 2 at the second.
