And if splitting atom releases energy, why haven’t these energy break from their atom themselves? Isn’t that means the force that bind the atoms are bigger than the energy released?

A single fission reaction does not release a lot of energy, nuclear bombs rely on an exponentially growing runaway chain reaction of fissions. To achieve that runaway chain reaction a so called “critical mass” of fissile material is required.
Achieving super critical mass is not possible without refinement and concentration of the natural ore.
