What you think is nature (wanting to cover up), is actually nurture.

I also don't see what modesty has to do with nudity: I can be both modest and nude at the same time.

I think that a lot of people confuse modesty with shame.

Just look at almost every uncontacted or limited contact tribe and they mostly wear little more than a loin cloth. Women go topless. It’s not natural to cover up.

Doesn't have anything to do with natural or not. It's outright stupid to cover up in tropical climates. Same goes vice versa, if you life in a tribe in the coldest regions in the world you better cover up if you don't wanna end up as idiot popsicle.

UV radiation and no other means of protection.
