Why is 2017 not considered to be a leap year when it starts 2 weekdays later than 2016?

2017 is not a leap year because it does not follow any of the rules to be a leap year, like being divisible by 4. The reason it starts 2 days later than 2016, is that the extra day that is skipped in a leap year only starts from the 1st of March, because the extra day is the 29th of February, and then follows into the months of January and February of the following year.
Not every date in a leap year skips a day, just ones from after the 29th of February. It is the dates in January and February of the following year that have skipped a day, and once you get to the 1st of March in the year after a leap year, you are back to being one day ahead again. The skipped day is not from the 1st of January to the 31st of December in a leap year, but from the 1st of March in a leap year to the 28th of February in the following year.
2016 is a leap year, but the 1st of January 2016, is not two weekdays after the 1st of January 2015, because the leap day has not happened at that point. So it isn't until the 1st of January 2017, that the day will have been skipped. So that is why the 1st of January 2017 is 2 weekdays later than the 1st of January 2016.

Why is 2017 not considered to be a leap year when it starts 2 weekdays later than 2016 - thus skipping a day?
2016 is a leap year therefore the following year (2017) starts one day later than it normally would had 2016 been a common year. In other words, 2016 contains the "leap day" (February 29th), not 2017. Thus every date from March 1st 2016 onwards is one day later than it normally would have been. Note that a common year has 365 days, which is exactly 52 weeks plus 1 day. Therefore consecutive common years will always advance by one day, as will any leap year that follows them. But the year immediately after a leap year always advances by 2 days because the leap year includes a leap day. Leap years occur on all years divisible by 4 unless the year is also divisible by 100 but not by 400. Thus 2017 will be a common year (not divisible by 4) while 2016 will be a leap year (divisible by 4 but not by 100). 1900 was a common year (divisible by 4 and 100, but not by 400) while 2000 was a leap year (divisible by 4, 100 and 400).
