That being the case, what is it about us that makes us care about "rightness" then?

Biology and socialization? You couldn't raise a human baby to have any arbitrary value system, our values are already mostly set by evolution. And it so happens that evolution has pointed us in the direction of valuing rightness, for sound causal reasons of course.
