I see your side too, we are taught day and night, day comes first then night but there is only one midnight in a day and one midday in a day. Midnight is when both hands are pointing to twelve and that is when the calendar clicks forwards which makes it midnight for the new day to my mind.
It explains why insurance policies which start at midnight are documented as 00:01 and end at 23:59 the following year to avoid confusion.
