It's like going to sleep and never waking up again. What's so bad about that?
You can't accept this logically. For all we know, there is an afterlife wherein we experience the moment of our demise in infinite recursion. You might be setting yourself up for a hellish eternity.

Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age.” ― Giacomo Leopardi
