why doesn't git use global email in .gitconfig?

I have set git configs in ~/.gitconfig as

[user]
        name = david_abc
        email = [email protected]

But when I push to a repository:

git push --set-upstream origin master
Username for 'https://bitbucket.org': david_abc
Password for 'https://[email protected]':

My question is why it doesn't recognize the name and email in the .gitconfig file.

Git does not use user.name for HTTP authentication, it is just user name that will be written in commits made by that user.

See git-credentials documentation for different options how to configure git to remember usernames (and eventually passwords) for repos.
