Why do most bikes transmissions make you push the shifter down for 1st gear. Why can’t all your gears be be pulling up on the shift lever? Same with a lot of atvs if I remember right from my childhood

Another part of it is inertia. As you accelerate your body slide back on the bike. If the seat is the fulcrum point, you can imagine your body tipping feet up and head down.
This makes it more natural to shift up as you accelerate.
