You are trying to match the speeds of some of the parts in the gear clusters on the input and output shaft of the transmission. In a broader sense, on a downshift, you are raising the engine speed to the level it will be when the next lower gear has been engaged. On an upshift, this isn't necessary, as the parts in question are naturally wanting to slow down anyway when the clutch disengages.
