"I don't understand why there has to be a National Coming Out Day, because no one ever feels the need to come out as straight..." And that is exactly why there has to be.
No, that's why we need to work to the point where there DOESN'T have to be, and it's NOT assumed that you're straight, but as long as there IS Pride and Coming Out Day and GLBT History Month and so on, we will never be seen as Just The Same As Everyone Else. Because we're setting OURSELVES apart.
