Calculus is addition but over "measurable" domains, it is a rather natural generalization.

Though, mathematicians do care about whether the calculation "makes sense" - that is, they care about the rigor. Which is why it may seem they invented something wild.

Inventing addition is different from adding things. They invented the continious addition in measurable domains. Even though they may calculate using calculus, they are about making the thing not doing calculations with the thing
