Beasts are not celestials, nor are they good aligned
Amaterasu-ōmikami may want a word with you at some point...
A great many cultures have depictions and lore for celestial and heavenly beasts, whether they occupy the roles of guides, divine spirits or deities in their own rights, and the celestial realms in FR lore are not just the western-conception-of-divine, by any stretch. Celestials with animal features and forms are pretty dang common, culturally across the world, and the realms getting better at being a reflection of that is a good thing.
I thought those were already considered celestials? By beasts, I was referring to the ones already referred to as such.

Yeah, this is carried by your background, which I do have to agree with them, is exactly where something that you've learned during your upbringing belongs. What I would like is for the final product to have a smooth provision for saying "Yes, I had an upbringing that follows my race's cultural norms", so that you get and retain everything that has been moved out, in some other way. As long as that's preserved, moving cultural and upbringing things that aren't biologically innate over into backgrounds it the correct move, I think.
Moving it to background would definitely make sense, but unless I overlooked it, I couldn't see it specifically listed anywhere in that section. Weapon proficiency only from class is really bad.
