If you look at planes they allways have their windshield go from horizon to 45 degrees or more above the horizon. Why is it not the other way around? There is way more to see and be aware of beneath the plane than above. So why do they not do this?

Because there’s a whole load of avionics, radar stuff, and other flight systems in the nose. There’s no room for a window.
Secondly they don’t need to see down there as all that aforementioned instrumentation provides them with all the situational awareness that they need.
