Why losing rating points vs (too) higher rated?

The game was over before move 1 due to ''Mathematical Impossible'' because the rating difference was too high.

No secret you can never win vs. a higher rated chess player, but the same rules applies to them, for example a 2000 rated can never win vs. a 3000 rated, - that is just automatic/mathematical.

But my question is: shouldn't i get +1 instead of -1 for losing vs. so unfair pairing? Nobody learns from this game, too complicated for me, too easy for the opponents. Just lose-lose situation. Why actually LOSE rating points vs. a 100 % set match due to rating difference?

You lost. So you should lose rating points in a rated game.  1 point is practically nothing.

You just said it was fair game that 3000 rated can play -100 rated and get +1 for winning too, then. Easy way for infinity rating then, if that's the logic and no pairings is fair.
