Metric units are not derived from practical everyday household measures - for a reason, because everyone's logic is different.
If miles feel natural it is because you are used to them. Growing up using the metric system, I can attest that feels natural and logical to me and any other measure is weird and complex. It is just what you are used to.
When the French devised the meter, they did not use some pedantic local unit or the distance from Paris to whatever. They took the one thing that unites us all - the planet we live on.
And the planet accepted the standard almost completely, just 3 countries did not.
