Why indeed. Any answer to that is nothing more or less than a description of a great many evaluative premises that are required to go from is to ought.
We shouldn’t do “wrong” things is an effective catchall for every answer, in point of fact.
All moral systems require these premises to traverse the distance between those two distinct categories, which you habitually conflate with each other.
The....is......ought.......dilemma. Is wrong doesn’t imply shit, is wrong -and- we shouldn’t do wrong(or its content equivalent) is what leads to the statement “you shouldn’t do x”.
Always, in every system. Regardless of whether some silly god exists.
