I understand what each one means. As well as BCE and CE. But I’m wondering why did we feel the need the number the years according to Jesus’ supposed birthday. And if it was so flawed (nobody even knows if Jesus was real, let alone when his birthday was) why did we keep it going? Could you imagine what year we could be in right now if we counted them normally?

Because it doesn’t matter so we keep doing it the way it was done before. And it was done like that before because they liked the symbolic of Jesus being the beginning of time.
And because the starting point doesn’t really matter, it doesn’t matter that they probably got Jesus’ birth year wrong.
