An analogy of why it cannot be decodified is thinking of the MD5 as the
remainder of a division. Even if you know the divisor and the
remainder, there are many numbers that could have produced that result.
The remainder or modulo operation loses information thus the original
cannot be reconstructed. It is a one way operation, while the same
number will always produce the same MD5, many numbers can be the origin
of that result and which one was it cannot be guessed. While dividing
by 2 will only give you reminders of 0 and 1 for every number, the
result of Md5 produces a very good variety of results with a good spread
of values over the whole range of possible results.

You are absolutely correct. What I wanted to say is that hash md5 does
not have to be used to encrypt nothing, therefore, this is not its purpose.
