That's merely because there's no stupidity clause written into the law. Biker was stupid, now he's dead.
If someone in the middle of the night dressed in all black sprinted out into the middle of a crosswalk at night and you hit them, that is 100% your fault in court and failure to yield... but by your reasoning you would ask for no mercy and take the full brunt of the law. The person you hit was being kinda stupid though, no? Regardless of time of day, it is your responsibility to not hit the person, even if you couldn't see them.
Your argument holds water only if you have no regard for human life.
