my only real argument is that MD makes more sense, and that is what is used in the US

Sometimes.

Sometimes it isn't.

Like when people say "4th of July" instead of 7/4.

True, but that seems mostly limited to special cases, almost like Cinco de Mayo... It's referring to a celebration more that a date, especially since it's even rarer to say 'The 4th of July, 2023'
