Why is it incorrect to say the insulation "keeps out the cold"?

because technically there is no such thing as cold all that exists is heat this is because heat is the rapid movement of particles, made by friction (to understand why you must delve into physics and some chemistry) so, when you feel cold, it's really the absence of heat so instead of "keeping the cold out", which makes no sense at all scientifically, insulation keeps the heat in.
as a side note the feeling of cold is produced when you come in contact with an object (yes, air counts) that has less heat, or energy, than you do, You feel cold because heat (energy) from your body is being transferred to the environment. This ABSENCE OF HEAT in your body is why you feel cold

Because u have to say it the other way like this it keeps the warm air in and the cold air out

Insulation does not keep out cold; it actually reduces heat transfer, helping to retain warmth by minimizing heat loss. Cold is simply the absence of heat. Understanding thermal conductivity and heat flow is crucial in explaining how insulation works.
