Americans, why do you call it "4th of July" when you write date formats "Month/Day" supposedly because you all say "July 4th"?

Only if we add the article "the" to it. After all, we've heard "remember, remember, the 5th of November."
In practice, since we have Christmas and Christmas Eve, and there is only one of each, we would probably never have need to say it. With that said, I'm pretty sure you don't say "the Christmas" unless it needs to move into the adjective slot with something like "I love that I get off for the Christmas Holiday."

But you don't say "the independence day" either.

Right, just like we don't say "the Christmas." It becomes a proper noun.
Whereas if we moved stuff around "the day of independence" would be required.
