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

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.
