Confused with Google map instructions for Shinagawa Station

I will be coming from Kyoto on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen and will be changing trains at Shinagawa Station to catch the Keikyū Main Line for Asakusa.

According to Google maps to do this I have to change trains:

  • Get off the Shinkansen at Shinagawa Station
  • Take the stairs
  • Follow signs for Shinkansen Tracks (South Gate),  Pass the fare gate
  • Take the stairs, Exit via Konan Exit (East Exit)
  • Take the stairs
  • Pass the fare gate
  • Take the stairs
  • Keikyu Main Line Platform 2

But according to this Shinagawa Station Map, I am confused why I have to exit via Konan Exit.

There is a red line (accessible route) so why can't I stay within the gates and just head north towards Keikyu Line.
