Here's a 'skp function that does this as an alternative to 'skip.

[ {Returns the series forward or backward from the current position.}
[ offset [number!] "Can be positive, negative, or zero."
[ series [series! port!]
[ ][
[ skip series offset
[ ]

== [6 7]
As for why it's like this, if you compare it to 'pick:
pick blk 4
it's very similar to:
skip blk 4
So I suggest that it seemed natural to continue it with 'skip?
