When you say mouldy cheese do you mean blue cheese, or just cheese with mould on the outside?
If it's the latter, then it's because the non-mouldy cheese is still edible. You can cut the mould off, and the remaining cheese is as edible as freshly bought cheese. Originally when cheddar was left to mature, it would grow mould on the outside. When it was taken out of storage to be eaten, the mould would be cut off. I think that these days they artificially age cheese.
Bread, on the other hand, goes properly off fairly quickly. If part of a loaf of bread is mouldy, then its probably all too old to eat. Also there is a lot of surface area on bread (due to slices being ready cut). This means that every slice of bread can get the mould pores on it, and you can't cut the outside off a slice of bread, as it isn't thick enough.

Because mouldy bread is bad, mouldy cheese is good

Because mouldy cheese tastes lovely -- as long as it has been through the proper process and not just been left to deteriorate -- and mouldy bread is so horrible that you have to spit it out and wash your mouth out if you try to eat it.

Because the mould in blue cheese is harmless. The mould on bread will make you vomit, have hallucinations and in a worst-case scenario, die. One of the theories why British and Irish monks in the dark ages did all those beautiful illuminated Bibles is that they were all tripping on mouldy bread.

Because mouldy cheese isn't actually mouldy it is the way it is made, it is kneed in such away that it course's Lot's of tiny air pocket's and that is what gives it that mouldy look.

Most of the molds that grow on cheese or bread are harmless. Absolutely harmless. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Why not eat moldy bread then?? I do. Well, not when it's REAL moldy, but a few little spots don't bother anything. Usually by the time though that bread is moldy, it's also stale. Stale bread isn't too good.

Cheese basically is mould. Mouldy bread would make you very ill.
