You ask .."Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?"

Maybe because we earthlings go into a restaurant, sit at a table that just had a family of two parents and four kids sitting there, and the table is a mess..food and other debris littered all over. The bus "person" comes over and attempts to "clean" the table with a dirty rag that has been used to clean God's knows what from other tables....and then places a glass or coffee cup at each sitting and how does he place the item....Yes! Rim down on the table just wiped with this dirty rag and where we will now place our mouth.
And now the question...how many of us ever question this activity?
