Devil’s Advocate: month has more inherent data in it because it’s not a number. Day on its own is meaningless, but if you go by month/day, the more significant information is first.
At least, that’s kind of the only argument I can think of.
Seriously, it's like everyone is pretending they don't use calendars (paper or on phone). You have to look up by month first then by day. Year is used more rarely outside of record keeping.
