Mary(blessed among all women) gave birth to the human vessel however,in biology you learn that the blood comes from the father,Christs blood,the most important part,for the life of the flesh is in the blood,was solely divine,thus God;Jesus the human vessel was not Divine when he thirsted,was tired,was scared in gethsemane,so Mary did not have a 'connection' to God but to the human side of God,thus she is not the mother of God.

Jesus was God incarnate. Mary was the physical mother of Jesus. Jesus was conceived of the HG. He was fully God/fully man.

Simple answer to a complicated question is because He existed before He "took on flesh." Mary was the "theotokos" - God Bearer - not the "meter theou" Mother of God." She is the mother of His humanity - not His deity.

All three are as one, here is a poor example but it may provide the necessary understanding.
Consider the apple: it has a core, body and skin.
One cannot be present without the other two having also been present at one time; all three parts make the apple.
