If you’re constantly selecting a different view of your calendar instead of using the default, then you should change the default view to one that better suits your needs. That way, you’ll always see what you want each time you view your calendar.
Whenever I think about my schedule, I think about the entire month. Therefore, when my Google Calendar opens, it want the entire month showing. Many other people log in each morning to see what the day’s schedule is. For them, it makes sense for the daily view to be the default view.
