Why can't the server get the client MAC address, like the client IP?

I know that all MAC addresses that the pocket goes through are in the pocket. This is because that each pocket that goes, should also be returned. So, if the router of the server know about the mac address of the client (all of them), why the server page (like aspx) cannot have this information?

Please, give an explanation. (don't just tell me that I'm wrong).
