Year month day makes sense. Month day year makes sense because that's how people talk: I'll be there February 5, etc.

Month day year makes no sense because it's backwards, and no one talks that way. So why use that?

People also say "twelve past two" and yet you don't use 12:2:SS.

People only say "twelve past two" when they want to be formal and awkward.
