Why do we have to fly rockets straight up and out of the atmosphere? Why can’t we fly a ship like a plane and just go higher and higher and higher, then rocket booster out past the exosphere. I know the air is thin way up there, so at the highest, tilt upwards and rocket boost

Imagine I have a model plane with a rubber band attached to the ground. My goal is to lift the plane up until the rubber band snaps. Which is easier, pulling straight up, or pulling up while moving it around in circles?
Seems like the second way just wastes more effort since I’m moving in circles while fighting against the rubber band at the same time. My arm is getting tired. t’s easier just to pull it straight up until it snaps and not worry about going in circles.
