I understand that you used examples in English to make your point but whatever language you use will not help you to understand why things are said this way or that way in French.
There are so many grammar rules and most of them don't make much sense. Sometimes there's just no rules at all. Things are written this way simply because of the modifications of the language occuring during all these centuries.
You just learn the language by following its rules and not by finding some kind of logic that doesn't exist. I can help you to understand the language through its rules and how it works but I can't help you if you want to know why such rule has been created nor the logic of it, if there's ever been one.
