When you gear down you make the engine use gears that are better suited for higher speeds. you are spinning the transmission internals much faster than needed , ultimately wearing things out much quicker. Making use of the lower gears to do the job they were designed for, they are much stronger than the higher gears for moving from a stop or lower speeds.
