It is converted to heat first; this heat is then used to produce superheated steam. The pressure of the steam is what drives the electric generators.

Why are transformer more efficient than a rotating electric machine?

Transformers inherently do not have frictional losses, but transformers and rotating machines perform completely different functions, so I'm not sure it is fair to compare them. Transformers are used to transform electric energy (the input is electric energy, and the output is electric energy). Rotating machines either take electric energy and convert it to mechanical/kinetic energy, or take kinetic energy and convert it to electric energy.
