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

But why do you refer to the holiday by its date rather than the actual name of the holiday?

a lot of us consider "the 4th of july" another name for the holiday not just a descriptor of the date....

I am just conjecturing here, but I think we don't say Independence Day much out of some combination of the U.K. being one of strongest allies on the one hand and a desire to be strong and ergo never "dependent" on the other. I'm pretty sure it used to be more common to say Independence Day.
