That's the entire point of a reboot. Same characters, different storyline.

The main thing I'm trying to figure out is how General Shepard is alive and why doesn't he have an eye patch then

It's a different storyline. The eye thing hasn't happened.

It's not a sequel you dim bulb.

So then must be a prequel then you marble brain

It's not a prequel, either.

Realistically, mw19 could've been considered a prequel since it's just Price and Gaz, but 1. It takes place in 2019, not before 2016. And 2. A completely different story was written for MW22. What you're thinking of is a remaster, where everything stays the same.

It's like put some U.S soldiers in starwars. Why? Both deal with war so let's change the storyline and some characters. That's how I see it as

No one care how you see it. You asked why the story was radically different - it's a reboot.

No. It’s a completely different universe. It has homages to the original Modern Warfare games but they’re completely new characters with the same look as the old characters in a completely new plot. Eyepatch Shepard does not exist in this timeline. It’s a new thing. That’s what a reboot is.
