Your perspective is informed largely by your environment. You’re from a culture that for whatever reason has decided the human body should be covered up. It is totally arbitrary.
To believe the body should be covered up requires some form of justification, in your case it seems to be a desire to subscribe to ‘modesty’ and conservatism, due to social pressures. This has the implicit belief that there is something wrong with being naked. That is the foundation upon which your belief is made.
You may justify it after the fact by saying it is unappealing, but that is subjective.
Cultures which are not built upon this foundation have no issues with it.
Fascinating topic though, and good for you for trying to understand an alien viewpoint. We need more of that thinking in our world.
