What am I missing on beam design? sandwiching 2x6's to make a beam is
not correct???

Not really, it is a waste of material resulting in a heavy and weak
beam.

Find a Strength of Materials engineering text and learn an
understanding of the term "Section Modulus" and how it applies to beam
design as a starter.
