Why are You reading the tcsh manpage to find out how bash works? It
does not make sense to me.

Read the bash manpage, the INVOCATION section clearly states that a
login shell only reads the profile if it exists.
If you want it to source the .bashrc, add
[ -f $HOME/.bashrc ] && . $HOME/.bashrc
in your $HOME/.bash_profile
