They're not simply 2d numbers, though. ℝ^2 is also a 2d number, but has different multiplication rules, for example.

Intuitively elements of R2 are not numbers, they're vectors, or points in a 2 dimensional vector space. You can also treat complex numbers as vectors in the 2 dimensional complex plane.
