Think of it this way, without the math. On the transmitter side of the
network, the match is 1:1, with nothing reflected back to the transmitter.

So you have a signal coming back from the antenna. You have a perfect
matching network, which means nothing is lost in the network. The
feedline is perfect, so there is no loss in it. The only place for the
signal to go is back to the antenna.

Wikipedia says that if the source is matched to the line, any
reflections that come back are absorbed, not reflected back to the
antenna:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching
"If the source impedance matches the line, reflections
from the load end will be absorbed at the source end.
If the transmission line is not matched at both ends
reflections from the load will be re-reflected at the
source and re-re-reflected at the load end ad infinitum,
losing energy on each transit of the transmission line."


And you believe everything Wikipedia says? ROFLMAO.

But that also explains your ignorance.
