I'm legit shocked that you liked Atlantica in KH1, most people hated it, including me, especially because the swimming and underwater combat didn't control well and alot of the level design was confusing. They made it a rhythm minigame world in KH2 because so many people hated it in KH1, they figured "well at least people like Little Mermaid's music so maybe they will like it if we just make it a rhythm minigame", but people still hated it, both the few like yourself who like Atlantica in KH1 and the people who hated it in KH1 still hated it, because the music quality was low and the rhythm timing unforgiving. You can find a bunch of Worst Kingdom Hearts World articles that all say Atlantica is either the worst or among the worst worlds in both KH1 and the whole series:

There is no real consensus on what the best world in all of Kingdom Hearts is, different people always seem to have a different favorite (mine is probably either The Caribbean in KH3, Halloween Town in KH1, KH2, and 358/2 Days, or Pride Lands in KH2, each of which also appears on one of those best and worst world articles above as among the best worlds), but there is a consensus about the worst world in all of KH and that consensus is Atlantica.
They made the underwater gameplay alot better in KH3's Pirates of the Caribbean world, so people liked that more than Atlantica in my experience. If they ever decide to revisit Atlantica in a new game like KH4, they know the recipe for success now, make moving up and down underwater controlled with the analog stick instead of two different buttons for up and down, make the underwater movement faster, and make the underwater combos better, just like The Caribbean in KH3.
