>Addition and subtraction are two very different things and you can't add a negative number
>Oh wait now subtraction was all a lie and you can only add numbers

>Whatever is left over after division is the reminder spend the rest of the year learning how they work
>Oh wait now it's a fraction and we are going to devote another year of your life to learning how they work
>Oh wait now it's a decimal and we are going to devote another year of your life to learning how they work
>Oh wait now everything's a graph and numbers aren't even real, or imaginary

I could go on but you get my point.
Why do they do this to kids?

Agreed. Counting and arithmetic is subsumed by field theory as a special case, and this is how it should be taught.

Everything is oversimplified because

None of these things contradict each other. They're just different ways to present the same thing.

To be fair, kids do have lower cognitive abilities. The problem is more about the teachers who refuse to answer to the questions of children that go beyond the scope of the course. If a kid asks a question about something he's supposed to learn the next year, it means that he's already smart enough to learn it.
