Are you sure about what you are saying?

Half of the time, the commit you test in your "git bisect" section would
be a "good" one, and immediately after you tell it "bisect good", it tells
you that some _other_ commit you marked "bad" is the first bad commit.  In
such a case, you won't be on the commit that the bisect has found.

So I _do_ agree that you would always want to stare at the commit that is
the first bad one, leaving the bisection session at the detached HEAD
state bisection session ends at is _totally_ different from what you want.
