There's many logical reasons. The federal bureaucracy handles the day to day work of federal agencies, not the actual individual elected to be the President. The President appoints a cabinet to oversee those agencies. So there's no need for any individual to be awake 24/7 making decisions which means there's no need for multiple shifts of executives to be available.
Multiple executives would actually be a terrible system as situations last longer than a single shift. Day Shift President would have to hand over a bunch of context to Swing Shift President for any issue lasting longer than a single shift. Swing Shift President may not agree with Graveyard Shift President on the best course of action which leads to an inefficient and/or legally arduous process of adjudicating primacy of authority.
