Like how if I have a river, I can install multiple dams in series to get more energy instead of having just one dam.

The steam you are heating only has a limited amount of energy in it. A river is being constantly accelerated by gravity, but once steam has left the reactor it’s gaining no more energy, which obviously means that there’s a limit to how much energy you can extract from it, and most of the usable energy is gone after passing through the first turbine.
