For the same reason there is no year 0. 0 is the point in between the year -1 and the year +1. Midnight of the 31st December in the year -1 _is_ zero, but one minute later is in fact the 1st January of the year 1.
You give medieval astronomers too much credit. There's no year zero because nobody made one (the AD system was created retrospectively, don't forget.) If a year zero did exist, you'd be arguing that it would be ludicrous to leap from -1 to +1.
