ELI5: Why milk is better than water after eating baked goods?

If there is a scientific basis behind this, I would like to know. Why does milk taste so much better after eating baked goods (cookies, cake, donuts, pie, etc) as opposed to drinking water? Water only seems to spread the sugars around in my mouth. Is there something in milk that makes it so much better?

Milk has lots of fats suspended in it, which are a good counterpoint to the high carb content of baked goods.  Also, because of this, it can effectively move both oil-soluble and water-soluble things around in your mouth.  Even though oil and water don't mix, the fats suspended in milk can gather up and move oils effectively.  This can also help to clear your palate so you can enjoy the next bite without the flavor from the previous one interfering.
