OK hear me out. Our birthday is day we got introduced to this world, no work no effort on our end. Our mothers pushed us out after 9 months. Then why do we celebrate and take gifts when we didn't really do anything
Had the same thought.
Now I realise it’s an excuse to connect with friends / family. I make it a point to call a few of my friends on their birthday - at least I talk to them because of that. Same for family and friends - opportunity to get together with people that I care about. I can say organising a dinner for a friends birthday and can expect people to make time for it and come vs. saying hey been a long time, let’s meet and it doesn’t happen.

Some don't achieve anything even after being born, ye kya logic hua yaar
Being born is the first and an important step to achieving something.
It's basically like celebrating marriage even though the marriage/ family has just begun and we don't know if it will be a good one or a bad one
A chance to look back and reflect on the past and decide about the future? Ponder over our hits and misses over the last year? And/Or just an excuse to find an occasion to celebrate with our loved ones.

Or do you sincerely believe in having off-days on birthdays? Do employers judge us for having our day to ourselves?
