Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

I do not personally care if you believe in a god or not.

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

The people of the modern world have evolved past all of that nonsense.

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?
