If somebody was seeking information on you, do you not think that you have the right to ask why they want that information?

Yes, because othewise it would become a bit of a mockery, and means that some information, in this case the identity of the person/body requesting the information, is not freely available.
Unless of course the person of whom the information is being sought, puts in their own question using the Freedom of Information Act, so as to discover the identity of the person requesing the information on them in the first place.
That could go on for ever, and I'm sure there are much more worth while things public servants could be employed doing, such as making sure forms are filled in accurately, so that we we don't miss out on any money that's going begging that we would have been entitled to, if they'd had been filled in correctly.
