So why can/do we not capture the CO2 directly where it is released? For example for cars directly at the exhaust? Or for coal power plants at the chillen? Wouldn‘t it be much more effective to capture the CO2 there instead of trying to filter it out of the atmosphere?

Yes, the higher concentration at the source does make the process significantly less unfavorable and that’s how most proposals suggest we do it.
Probably not practical on cars (too much weight), but it makes more sense on things like cement kilns or power plants.
Still tough and costs energy, but a lot better than just going at the bulk atmosphere.
