I understand that polygons are defined by generally all mathematicians as:
Made of three or more straight line segments.
But, two line segments forming a line are also a "poly" of a "gons" due to not having just one segment.
So, I intuitively I as a non mathematician understand simple line segments with "more than one" gon/segment as a "polygon".
Why isn't a line segment considered a "polygon" by mathematicians?

See the definition of the polygon, you will find your answer.
Note: A circle is not a polygon as it does not have straight sides.
