I understand not getting confused. That doesn't mean calling the second floor that you put your feet on "the first floor" makes sense.

It makes perfect sense if you learn it that way! It's hardly asinine in any case. I don't think it's ever caused a problem, except for Americans in Europe getting confused by it or vice versa.

It makes total sense of you don't consider the first level a real floor because it's just, like, ground (duh). /hj
