By default Mothers are Female, So Fathers are considered as male.

Simply by definition.
In an alternate universe, it could be that the beings that produce sperm are called "women" or "ikolites" (or any other word you can think of) and when they have kids they are called "mothers".
Fathers/males were defined that way. Those are accepted English labels pointing to objects in our world.

Father is just the word used for the male in a parental unite. It is like asking why is my name bob? your name is just bob it doesn't say anything about you. In Spanish and Italian, it's padre; in Sanskrit, pitra; in Greek, pater; in Latin, pater; in French, pere; and in German Vater. Notice any similarity in all these words? As it turns out, all these languages -- and many others -- are derived from a common language: Proto-Indo-European. So all the above words for "father" have a common father, and all the languages derived from that parent language are said to belong to the Indo-European language family. There are more than a hundred of them. Latin root pater (father). When we perpetrate something, we cause to bring it about or, in other words, we father it. A patriot is a fellow country-man, one having the same forefathers.

Because Mothers are Females. It's a law of nature, just as "like charges repel and opposite charges attract" is a law of nature. No such thing as gay electrons!
