That's not a baseline value, that's a baseline cost. It costs money to mine a bitcoin, but that doesn't mean anyone will want to buy it.

Gold is a bit different since it has some baseline value from practical uses, but the store of value use case dominates those.

And the baseline cost of bitcoin even goes down, when nobody's mining.
