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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

These are man made rules - made thousands of years ago for the use of the humans who lived thousands of years ago.

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

Is it common for female doctors to examine male patients without another nurse present? Is there a difference in protocol for nurses and physician assistants?

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?

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

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.

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