Why do you think the d-day landing were made on the beaches instead of at established harbors?

Because beaches allowed for the landing crafts to take soldiers as close as possible to land. The main Ports of Calais and Cherbourg were heavily fortified and defended and thus too difficult to assault. A lesson that was learned from the Dieppe Raid. Securing the beaches allowed for fast and efficient unloading of men and equipment imperative to repel and German counter attack which could scuttle the invasion.
