Why do history classes focus so much on dates?

Why do history classes focus so much on dates? One of the first things you learn in school is the battle of Hastings happened in 1066, not why, to who, where, what. If I tell a story “I was beating up a shark with a rubber duck.” people don’t say come on but when did it happen, what was the date? was it a Tuesday, Wednesday?
Ok they do teach you why, who, where but the dates are really unimportant, I bet they couldn’t remember when the battle of Hastings happened in 1071
