Liquid has more pressure at the bottom that why

Consider this point A
, just at the surface of any liquid exposed to atmosphere. The hydrostatic pressure exerted by this liquid of height h
is hρg
. My confusion is tha that this pressure should be transmitted in all directions, so shouldn't Point A experience this pressure as well?
The net pressure at A should be : "hρg
−
Pa
". But, this obviously sounds absurd, the pressure at A
is considered to be just atmospheric pressure.
Where could I have gone wrong (excuse me for the not so good diagram)?
