Why USB is faster than serial port even though the USB sends data serially ?

Serial dates back to 1969 ( standardized ) and is even older than that.

USB was introduced in 1996.

For starters there were 30+ years of technological innovation between them.

I guess if you could make the UART you could in theory match it.
