Other people have pointed out more types of information that has good reason to be confidential, but we should also acknowledge it would be a huge investment of effort to do something like this. Organizing, storing, updating, and sifting through all this information when it would so rarely be useful is already too much effort for the benefit even disregarding other concerns.
Thanks for the unpopular opinion though, it is an interesting change to consider as a thought experiment.
We already spend a lot of effort keeping data private, and also making data accessible. But I don't expect all information to be put in a big database for everyone to see. The point is, no one can say no when asked for data.
