why don't protons from ligand repel nucleus split d-orbitals?

why don't d-orbitals split themselves because of themselves without the presence of ligands? Electrons are indistinguishable. Why wouldn't it be more correct that protons from a ligand split the d-orbitals rather than the lone-pairs cause d-orbital splitting energy?​
