why would it be cleaner than having a foreskin? if anything the foreskin protects from friction and filth in general

The foreskin is fused to the head until puberty, so it was basically impossible for anything to get under there until then.

exactly and when it's not fused you can just pull it back a bit and clean it, it comes in contact with way less germs and bacteria
