Think of it this way: if Feb 29 didn't exist that year, it would have been March 1. If we're being scientific I guess all of us should move our birthday up by 1 day on leap years, but that seems annoying and not sure anyone really cares enough to.

No we should move our birthday celebration up by 6 hours every year. But that would be only relevant if we were celebrating at the exact hour of our birth.

We already don't move them for timezones. I was born at 3am but in France, when I'm in the US I don't celebrate the day before.
