Moving from the surface of the Earth toward the center, you will encounter increasing density. This is perfectly logical since denser matter will sink, and also because the weight of all the matter that is on top of the lower layers helps to compress them into an even denser form.

Why doesn't the atmosphere decrease nor increase steadily as you move from earths surface toward space?

The temperature in the atmosphere doesn't steadily increase or decrease as you move away from Earth's surface towards space because at the point where the atmospheric layers intersect, the temperature remains constant, just like when water changes state.

Why does the density of the atmosphere decrease with the height?

ice floats on top of water due to its lower density.... similarly, the gases with lower density lies in the upper atmospheric layers and the ones with larger density lie on the lower most atmospheric layers. so the overall density of air decreases with height.
