Why do archeologists have to dig into the soil/sediment to find artifacts and archeological sites? Why are older things always deeper in the ground? Why would they not be found on the same level? Can dirt and debris pile up that bad?

Another factor that people haven’t mentioned is that all the stuff that was hanging around aboveground and easily accessible was probably picked up and moved around by people.
