Why not "Happy Conception Day" instead of "Happy Birthday"?

For those who believe that life begins at conception*, why isn't the
date of conception celebrated? It seems logical that the beginning
spark of life is a more important event than the transition of life
from womb to world. As such, conception day should be more celebrated
than birth day. Right?
 
(* I do not mean to critique the position or argue for or against it.
In fact, I suspect most who know me would be surprised by my opinion
on the subject. I'm just genuinely curious.)

I think it's possible to narrow it down quite closely. And it seems like if it were held at the level of importance it would seem to deserve, then couples would make all efforts to know for sure, so that the date that life was created could be known positively.
