Why do you say heat up and cool down instead of heat down and cool up?

To heat something means to bring the temperature up and to cool something means to bring temperature down. Hence the terms "Heat Up" and "Cool down". We actually do not need to add the up or down, as heat in itself means to rise, and cool means to lower. So instead of saying "I need to heat my food up", one could just say, " I need to heat my food".
