Why is St. Patrick's day celebrated on the day of his death rather than his birth?

We do not know the birth date nor the date of death of St. Patrick. He was just given the date of March 17th for lack of precise information on the actual date. The death date is usually the feast day of a saint because that would be the date they were reborn in heaven.
