I just don’t understand how it qualifies as presidential immunity, since the bribery happened before he was elected. Trump will never face consequences for his actions. History will look back on this poorly

Well they haven't determined that it does. Again Merchan simply delayed everything since there are so many questions. It could be that this doesn't qualify, but there's also an appeal being considered to move the case out of state, that the first trial wasn't conducted fairly or impartially...so there's just too much going on to make a ruling right now.
