The "three-dimensional acoustic sound wave" does not die when it meets the microphone diaphragm. It is transduced into an electrical signal which is transduced back to sound again during speaker (or headphone) playback, whereby something approximating the original sound waves are reproduced. Here's the key: some transducers and systems do MORE ACCURATE approximations than others do.
Let's think about mono sound for a moment: we can discern depth in mono recordings, i.e., we can tell that some of the sounds we hear are closer to the microphone than others are. Stereo gives us not only front to back dimensionality, but side to side dimensionality too. MCh adds to this by filling in the space behind us as well as in front of us. And finally, systems like Dolby Atmos give us all three dimensions: front to back, side to side, and up and down. You keep insisting that it's not exactly the same as in the original performance space - but we should strive to make it so, and in so doing, we advance the audio art. It's getting more and more accurate all the time! ;-)
