There's no "merit". This is natural language, that's all.
Indeed. I don't have a clear idea why these date formats are so, like you and Mike noted it is probably just natural language evolution. But, as Josh and Edward also noted, we do seem to agree that in an international environment it can be quite confusing if not noted properly. In such a case using ISO dates definitely has merit.
