Because that's what you told it to do.  Rsync is a copy program -- it
just copies what you tell it to, in the direction that you tell it to.
See the --update (-u) option for one possible restriction on what it
will copy.  Also check out the program "unison" if you're looking for a
way to update changed files in both directions.
