Fruit has sugar. Candy and soda have sugar. Why is eating a whole mango healthier than eating a candy bar?

It’s different sugar. If I remember correctly, fruit has fructose, while artificial sweets have mostly glucose. Both of those are simple sugars (made out of uncomplicated molecules) but fruit also has complex sugars (large chains of molecules) which react differently with your body and are generally lacking in candy.
