  Because 'shameless' doesn't mean absence of shameful deed nor absence of feeling ashamed per se, but absence of feeling ashamed when a person does/did something which he or she should normally feel ashamed of. >

  Shameful means something is so bad as to be full of shame. Shameless means something is so bad it can’t even understand the concept of shame. 
  One is too much, the other not enough. >
  
  Yeah because the root of the word is "shame", so anything associated with it is most likely going to be negative. Plus, too much shame or too little shame, like anything in life, is bad. You still get my upvote lol >
